Wheelchairs for Kids

This afternoon, in 3-6 worship, we welcomed a representative from Wheelchairs for Kids, the charity we raised money for in our free dress day at the end of last term.

It was wonderful to be able to present them with a cheque for $750, not only from the money raised through free dress, but also from some extremely generous additional donations from some parents.

Thank you to all who supported this cause.

One More for Dinner

Message of thanks from the Spiers Centre

For some people, cooking is a passion; for others, it’s more of a chore. Whatever camp you fall into, everyone who rolled up their sleeves to cook meals for The Spiers Centre has made an extraordinary difference and for those whose batteries aren’t recharged by time in the kitchen, we send you an extra virtual hug of gratitude. I’d love to share a little about where those meals go, and the lives they touch.

The Spiers Centre has been serving people across Perth’s northern suburbs for just over 45 years. Today, our work includes financial counselling for people in financial stress, often on the brink of eviction, with around 40% of our clients also surviving family and domestic violence. We provide emergency relief in the form of food hampers, food vouchers, utility support, and advocacy – connecting people to the right help at the right time. The meals you prepare for us are a vital part of that emergency relief, and the best way to show their impact is through a real story from earlier today.

The Centre had barely opened its doors when a young man came in. He was humble, polite, and almost apologetic for “bothering us.” He told our staff how his entire life, from birth had been lived amongst the chaos of substance use and instability, but in the past two months he’d made a conscious decision to break away. He’s been sleeping rough for 56 nights, scraping together enough money for the occasional cheap hotel room when he could. Despite reaching out to several agencies, he’d been told housing could be years away. He was deflated, tired, and hungry, yet still hesitant to take help because he believed there were “others worse off or more deserving.”

When we offered him a food hamper, he asked quietly, “Do I have to pay for it?”  and the surprise and relief when he realised it was freely given said everything. Because of you, we could go one step further: we offered him one of the St Stephen’s meals. You could see the shift in him, that moment when someone is treated with dignity, not pity. When he’s seen as a fellow human being not a problem to be solved or passed on. We gave him choices, amongst which were: baked chicken meatball fettuccine or Mexican cheesy beef and rice? We could heat one up for now, and pack another to take away. Maybe some onigiri too. It can be eaten hot or cold, perfect for when there’s no way to cook.

He left with a brown paper bag full of food, a full stomach, and a sense that he mattered. He knew he could come back again, because people like you care enough to make sure no one leaves our doors hungry.

Your meals do more than feed people; they restore hope, dignity and humanity.

From all of us at The Spiers Centre, thank you, St Stephen’s families, for being the heart behind every meal.

Warm regards

Andrew Johnston & Hannah Lockwood-Jones
