Open House
A team of volunteers based in South Melbourne provide food parcels, food vouchers and counselling to various disadvantaged individuals and families between the hours of 10:00 am and 3:00 pm Monday to Friday.

The funding provided to Open House allows for various activities targeted particularly at disadvantaged families and older single people, e.g. weekly barbeques, overnight emergency accommodation, family mediation, counselling for drug and alcohol problems, assistance with job seeking and the like.

A fully fitted bus operated by the Mission provides food and services to various disadvantaged groups, such as supporting alcoholics, compulsive gamblers, drug addicts and those with behavioural and mental problems.

Outreach Workers, such as Corrie Bray, provide local families with food, financial support, furniture and accommodation. Corrie often provides extensive counselling and ongoing support to single mothers, drug addicts and people affected by behavioral problems related to drug or alcohol abuse.
