Easter is a really important time of year for me. Not just because of its religious significance, but because it reminds me a better future is possible whenever we use our compassion to lift people out of despair. That’s exactly what your support enables me and my team to do every single day. Like the nutritious meals that stave off hunger in the homeless, or the basic healthcare that means our guests don’t get sick. But what if we could prevent poverty...
Imagine not knowing where your next meal was coming from, or whether you’d have enough warm clothes for another cool night sleeping rough. It’s a very real problem for the homeless of Sydney, but thankfully your support means we can help. Every night our brand new food van arrives at Yurong Street – just behind The Domain – to give nutritious, warm meals to 300 homeless people who call the city home. Our meals are a God-send and are always gratefully received. We...
We think the homeless and the needy should enjoy Easter just like everybody else. So we make it an extra special time at The Exodus Foundation. Many of our guests are lonely and isolated, so making them feel especially welcome at Easter is important. Rev. Crews even offers to wash their feet on Maundy Thursday, the way Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. “It shows how much we care”, he said. Our Loaves & Fishes Free Restaurant will be open right...
Staying healthy when you live on the streets isn’t easy – especially when the seasons change and the nights get cold. That’s why The Exodus Foundation operates a clinic especially for our homeless and needy guests. The clinic has rooms for general practice medicine, a dental surgery and spaces for our psychologists and trained counsellors to help guide our guests out of the dark places they are in. It’s both a practical and wholistic approach to improving their health, and it has produced...
Easter is a special time of year. To me it’s all about hope for a better future. I share that hope with all the homeless and needy guests who come to my Exodus Foundation. It is also a holy time of year and I think the work that my team and I do among the homeless makes it especially meaningful. I often wonder where Jesus would be at Easter, in a splendid church or helping the poor? We’re giving help and hope...
The timeless message of Easter is about hope. It’s about new life springing out of darkness and despair. Here at my Exodus Foundation we believe in doing hope, not just talking about it. Every day we see lives changed by caring acts of service performed by our wonderful staff and volunteers. Sometimes it’s giving a free meal to a hungry homeless person in our Loaves & Fishes Free Restaurant, but often it’s much more than that. Often it’s life...
At The Exodus Foundation we give our guests better futures and that’s what Easter is all about. By giving just $165 you can feed a needy Australian for a whole month. Share your hope this Easter by giving now. ...
The Exodus Foundation never closes its doors to the poor and needy, even at Easter. Especially at this time of year we need your help to meet the desperate need of our guests. Our Loaves & Fishes Free Restaurant will be open right through the Easter holiday period serving breakfast and lunch. We need volunteers to help serve the meals. The breakfast volunteer shift runs from 08:00am – 10:00am and the lunch time volunteer shift runs from 10:00am – 02:00pm. Click here...
Easter is always a special time at The Exodus Foundation. It’s a time of hope. Today there are more homeless Australians and they feel more isolated. Doing something special for them at Easter is a great way of making them feel like they really do matter. On Maundy Thursday Rev. Bill Crews will wash the feet of our homeless guests, just as Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. “It’s humbling work, but for me it’s holy work too”, he said. And thanks to...
Recently two dignified old homeless gents quietly queued for a meal in our Loaves & Fishes Free Restaurant. Curiously though, when they took their seats only one of them ate. The other patiently waited. As we watched this we wondered what was going on. Why wasn’t the other man eating? His meal was going cold. What happened next shocked us. When the first man finished his meal he had a drink of water to clean his mouth. Then he took out his...
