PRACTICAL KINDNESS THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Each week across Sydney we head out in teams and connect groups to make a difference in our communities. We often meet and connect with new arrivals to Australia, solo parents and Aussie's doing it tough, people struggling with homelessness, unemployment or health issues, young people without family support and the elderly.
We offer practical help but we also share the love of Jesus, see miracle answers to prayer and lives transformed.

C3Cares Food Hampers (which a bag of basic food items) are available to those people who are in immediate need in our community.

Community Meals & Services
Sydney's Largest Free Clothing Rooms
Our free clothing room is open Wednesdays 10:30-11:00 am at our Silverwater location and by appointment. We also host free 'shopping' days. Local charity groups can bring clients to 'fill-a-bag' completely free. Contact us at if you would like to bring your group.
Practical Help
We have prepared handy guides to help move out of difficult situations or get a better understanding of what to do next. Guides include budgeting, resume writing and interview tips. We also come alongside people to help practically - like lawnmowing after they've just come out of the hospital or assisting searching for emergency accommodation.
Work Placements
We have Work for the Dole projects in administration, kitchen and clothing. To date 200+ work placements have come through these projects. We are thrilled when they come back to tell us that they have used their new skills to find employment!
English Groups
We have practical English Groups for people who want to practise their English at Merrylands and Fairfield locations. We are looking for English speakers willing to come along and chat to new Australian's. Get in touch if you can help.
RECEIVE HELP
We understand that sometimes things just fall apart - there's no judgement here, just friendship and help. We'll do our best to listen and share what we have available.
