Home in Queanbeyan
HOME in Queanbeyan provides a long-term home for 20 people living with an enduring mental illness. Each resident lives in a self-contained unit in a safe, loving and non-institutional setting. HOME provides lunch each day cooked by volunteers.
If you love to cook then this serving opportunity is for you! This year we will be taking a team into HOME to cook a BBQ lunch & sides and also spend some time cleaning the common areas of the facility. This will not only bless those living at HOME but also give the regular volunteers a break from their consistent and generous hard work!

DONATION COLLECTIONS
SHARE THE DIGNITY
This year throughout October we are collecting donations for It’s in the Bag. Share the Dignity’s It’s In the Bag drive is where they ask people to fill a handbag (teen, adult, or mum & bub bag) with essential items and a simple hand written note. Each donation is then transported to a trusty network of charity partners who will gift them to women and girls waking up in domestic violence shelters or homelessness refuges on Christmas Day.
We’d love for you to either buy a bag and fill it yourself (tags & shopping list available in the C3 foyer or online here) or donate one item or a bunch of items to be packed into bags at the end of the month!
ANYTIME THROUGHOUT OCTOBER | C3 FOYER

Night Podz Queanbeyan
Queanbeyan Night Podz is a community-run overnight service that gives people a safe, private place to sleep if they’re homeless, at risk of homelessness, or going through a hard time.
Night Podz are looking for regular or one off volunteers to help this great service keep running for those in need. There are a variety of different roles that you can serve in: Caretaker, Night Service or Housekeeping.
Love on a Local
We want to encourage you to be intentional with loving and serving others throughout the month of October (and beyond!). Whether that’s mowing your neighbour’s lawn, paying for the person behind you in the drive through, making a meal for someone in need or simply a word of encouragement to a stranger. We never know the impact of a small act of kindness and generosity. We are praying that the people around us would experience the love of Christ through our words and actions as we intentionally step out this October.
