Hosting a Corporate BBQ for St Mary’s House of Welcome’s service users is not only a great team-building exercise for your work group, but it’s a powerful, socially responsible immersion experience guaranteed to get you thinking about the way you view homelessness and the people it effects.

The day begins at 10am with a briefing and induction and then, under the guidance and direction of St Mary’s house of Welcome staff, you will prepare and serve a BBQ lunch for up to 150 members of the community.  Then, after a quick clean up, you will have the chance to debrief, ask questions and reflect on what you have seen and heard throughout the day. A contribution of $700 from your group will provide lunch for up to 150 people who are homeless, and help support the essential program work of St Mary’s House of Welcome.

• Bookings are available twice a month (weekdays only).

• Available for groups of up to eight corporate team members

• Four hours in duration – 10am – 2pm

Benefits to your team include:

• The satisfaction and joy which comes from preparing and serving a nutritious and delicious lunch for up to 150 people who are homeless

• Participation in a life-enriching immersion experience

• Learning about the reality of homelessness and sleeping rough in Melbourne

• Learning about both the history and current work of St Mary’s House of Welcome

• Opportunity to chat to service users about their stories and experiences in an informal environment

• Providing an opportunity for social inclusion for people who usually feel isolated and marginalised

• A powerful team-building exercise that will remain with your work group long after the day has ended.
