St Sophia and Three Daughters Parish spreads cheer with 1,000 meals for the homeless

·

The Greek Orthodox Parish of St Sophia and Three Daughters’ ‘Feed the People’ program brought a heartwarming Christmas celebration to Martin Place on Monday, December 23, delivering more than 1,000 meals to those in need.

The event was made possible through the support of sponsors Crash Claim and The Butcher Boys, alongside dedicated volunteers from the Mother Maria of Paris Greek Orthodox Mission in Belmore.

A festive BBQ served at the Martin Place location provided a delicious meal for those who might otherwise have gone without, while the volunteers also distributed festive desserts to brighten the day of patrons.

The collaborative effort between local businesses, volunteers, and community groups helped create a meaningful and joyful holiday experience for the less fortunate in the area.

The initiative was a perfect example of the Christmas spirit, providing not only a meal but also a sense of warmth and connection to those who needed it most.

As a self-funded programme, ‘Feed The People’ relies on the generosity of volunteers and donors to sustain its work. The parish encourages anyone who would like to assist or learn more about how they can support the program to contact Father Irenaeus at (02) 9331 5031.
