Canice's Kitchen Coffee and Tea Drive

Thank you to the Loreto Kirribilli community who have generously donated to our Canice’s Kitchen Donation Drive, helping to provide tea, coffee and comfort to the homeless and disadvantaged.

St Canice’s is a Jesuit parish in Elizabeth Bay, just behind Kings Cross, and their outreach centre works to provide weekly health, legal and employment clinics, daily showers with access to toiletries and personal care items and brand new clothing, along with daily meals and a coffee shop to those experiencing homelessness and social exclusion. These services are entirely funded by donations from generous parishioners, local residents, businesses, schools.

This term our families have donated tea bags, instant coffee and bags of sugar to help stock their coffee shop, which runs alongside their daily meal service. The coffee shop runs seven days per week and serves around 200 cups of tea and coffee each day to both the homeless and disadvantaged. It is their hope that our community can continue to help this coffee shop provide its guests with a place to gather, pray and chat with a cup of coffee and a cake in hand.
