St Merkorious Charity (SMC) was thrilled by the generous contribution of $10,000 from the Australian Chinese Charity Foundation (ACCF) to support our Rhodes Outreach Service in 2024. This meaningful donation exemplifies ACCF’s unwavering commitment to uplifting communities and supporting vital causes.
ACCF, renowned for its dedication to fostering community spirit, has once again demonstrated its generosity and compassion by partnering with SMC. Their support directly enhanced our Rhodes Outreach Service, ensuring that we continue to provide essential aid to those in need.
On Monday, 21 October 2024, the team from ACCF had the chance to witness our outreach service in Rhodes. They met with Sally Sitou MP, our inspiring clients, and our dedicated volunteers, gaining a firsthand understanding of the impact of their support.
Subsequently on Tuesday, 17 December 2024, we had the privilege of welcoming Faith and Michael from ACCF to our headquarters at St Merkorious Charity. During their visit, they toured our premises to gain firsthand insight into the work we do. Their admiration for the centre and its operations was a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team and volunteers.
At SMC, we strive to create a positive impact through initiatives like the Rhodes Outreach Service, which addresses food insecurity and other pressing community challenges. The support from ACCF empowers us to continue this mission and reach even more individuals and families in need.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Australian Chinese Charity Foundation for their incredible generosity and look forward to building a lasting partnership that brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Together, we can make a difference!
