Maroondah Winter Shelter is an initiative of Wesley Mission in Ringwood and sees 6 local churches, now 7, cooperating to host 10 to 12 homeless local men, each church providing a dry, warm place to sleep, an evening meal and break-fast for one night per week during the winter months.
With support from Fr Jose we have agreed to host on Friday evenings. The men have all been vetted by United Wesley in Ringwood and each must sign a contract confirming their agreement to a stringent set of requirements de-signed to ensure the safety of all volunteers and the other guests. The men are brought in by bus after having been assessed each evening at the collection point.
