Thank you to all our valued volunteers who assist with our programs, our fundraising activities and for supporting a diverse number of people outside the church.
Tuesday’s Community Lunch
The people of the Echuca Moama Uniting Church provide a lunch program most weeks of the year. This is made possible through the ministry of the SHARE program. Community-based organisations and some businesses generously support this important ministry through donations and volunteer support.
Lunch helps women and men who are struggling to raise families, people who are unemployed, lonely or with some of the other difficulties that people of today face. Those who can, give a gold coin donation for their meal.
A team of volunteers provide appetizing food as well as a friendly face and an encouraging word. Meals are served except on public holidays and a short break after Christmas & New Year. Enter through the Pakenham Street entrance (next to Marketplace Crafts Shop) of the Church.
New volunteers welcome: If you would like to volunteer to assist with this program, please call in and speak to someone in the church office.
Marketplace Crafts Shop
Open on Mondays, Tuesday, Thursdays, and Fridays, and the 2nd Saturday of each month
Our ‘Marketplace Crafts’ shop sells items provided by local talented craftspeople, providing them a chance to sell their handmade goods on a commission basis. Enter via Pakenham St.
All money raised goes to local charities.
