For our neighbours

Community Space

Practical care, close to home.

A little help

You're welcome here.

When life is difficult, you don't have to work everything out on your own.

Community Space is Grafton Baptist Church's practical care ministry. We help with food and everyday essentials, and make time to listen.

The ministry began in 2016 with help from BaptistCare. Today the church continues this work, with food supplied through Foodbank and Coles SecondBite.

You don't need to be part of our church to contact us about support.

Whether you need practical essentials or would value a conversation, our team can discuss what support is available.

Lend a hand

Volunteer

Sorting supplies, preparing food relief and welcoming people all take willing hands. Talk with us about what is needed and the induction required for a role.

Support the work

Give practically

Call before dropping off donated goods so we can confirm what is useful and when someone will be there to receive it. The Hub Shop has also supported this ministry through clothing and household goods.

For financial giving, ask the church directly for its current giving arrangements.
