Many thanks for providing me with food and shelter. God Bless you all.

Winter Shelter is a Maroondah churches and community response to local homelessness.
It is the mission of Winter Shelter to provide shelter, food and honour for people who need shelter, comfort and support.
We work together with local Christian churches to provide the best support to those without shelter in Maroondah.
We would like to say thank you to all the people and church communities who have been a part of our Winter Shelter Program. It is a great joy to have so many people wanting to volunteer and participate in looking out for our guests through the program.
Your work and contribution has culminated into us being recognised for the Australia Day Community Event of the Year Award for Maroondah.
This award is for all of our guests, volunteers, contributors and church communities who are a part of Winter Shelter.
We would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we all stand today. We would also like to pay respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
