About Us
Our Story & Values
Mission Meals is a community-driven initiative dedicated to combating food hunger and fostering connection within our community. We provide warm, nourishing meals and essential food support with compassion and respect, striving to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone we serve.
Our Story
Seeds of Compassion
In 2010, Mission Meals began within a local church, driven by compassion for the growing need for food support. A dedicated group started by offering a few warm meals weekly from the church, laying the foundation for our mission.
Growing Our Reach
As demand increased, Mission Meals transitioned to a dedicated space in the local community centre around 2015, with the continued support of its founding church and volunteers. This allowed us to broaden our food bank initiatives and provide more frequent meals.
Rooted in Community
Today, operating from the local centre, Mission Meals remains a valued initiative of its founding church and other partners. Our core mission is to provide warm meals and food assistance with compassion, striving to build a more food-secure community for the future.
Our Motivation
At the heart of Mission Meals is a deep belief in the dignity and worth of every individual. We believe that no person – regardless of whether they are single, part of a family, or of any age – should have to face the hardship of hunger. We are committed to providing access to nourishing food as a fundamental right, offering our support with compassion and respect to all who seek it, and striving to build a community where everyone is valued and can thrive free from the worry of where their next meal will come from.
How We Serve Our Community
Community Meals
Our weekly Community Meals offer a warm and welcoming space where individuals can enjoy a freshly prepared, healthy meal and connect with others in a friendly atmosphere. It’s more than just food; it’s an opportunity to build community and combat loneliness.
Food Bank Support
For individuals and families experiencing food hardship, our Food Bank provides essential groceries with understanding and without judgment. We aim to offer a reliable source of support to ensure everyone has access to the food they need during challenging times.
