We serve those in disadvantage without discrimination, provide what they need and relieve suffering. Offering hope is what St. Merkorious stands for.
We collect, prepare, cook, and distribute fresh food that gives real nourishment to address food insecurity in Australia, helping them get through tough times.
We believe that no-one should ever feel abandoned by their community, and we know how important a listening ear can be. We chat, we laugh, we smile. We give hope.
Many in our community face poverty, unemployment, homelessness, disability and disadvantage. Help us help them with what they need to get them back on their feet.
We are strong when working together. Bringing joy to others is a joy in itself, and there is tremendous satisfaction knowing that our acts of kindness are changing lives.
“Poverty is the worst form of violence.” Mahatma Gandhi

Since opening our doors, St. Merkorious Charity has been encouraged by the enthusiasm, passion, talent, and sacrifice of so many special people who have put precious time aside to serve the St. Merkorious Charity, and the poor around us.
Our outreach is about more than just filling plates—it’s about restoring hope, building resilience, and creating communities rooted in compassion and connection. Each meal we serve is a reminder that those we support are seen, valued, and never alone. Through these simple yet powerful acts, we build genuine connections, offer practical support, and foster safe, welcoming spaces where everyone feels included and uplifted.
Here are some kind words from those we have strived to help through our ongoing efforts.
