The St Elesa Food Initiative has continued its mission of compassion in Sydney, distributing over 520 meals and 75 hygiene packages to those in need.
The initiative is supported by His Grace Bishop Christodoulos of Magnesia, parish priest Father Athanasios Giatsios, and members of the Philoptochos and Kogarah Orthodox Youth.
Hygiene packages, carefully assembled by Philoptochos members, include essentials like toothpaste, sunscreen, hats, and shampoo, aimed at helping the homeless during the festive season.
With the blessing of Archbishop Makarios of Australia, the Initiative has been serving the vulnerable for more than four years.
Acknowledging the growing demand for support, its members expressed gratitude for the community’s generosity. They remain committed to meeting the increasing needs of Sydney’s most vulnerable.
