Sunbury Winter Shelter’s mission is to provide refuge for homeless people where they may find meals and a place to sleep and to co-ordinate the participation of the combined Sunbury church families and the community in the provision of refuge and sanctuary.
Provide shelter for homeless people in our community. Provide care, food, fellowship and rest. Provide an opportunity to nurture understanding between the church communities and the guests. Support guests who need encouragement to work towards independent accommodation.
Sunbury-Winter Shelter began in 2019 with five churches offering to host our guests with their venues as refuge and sanctuary. The program was an overwhelming success with over 164 wonderfully enthusiastic volunteers attending our first training day on 4 th May 2019. It was a fantastic experience.
Acts 20:35 “By everything I did, I showed how you should work to help
everyone who is weak. Remember that our Lord Jesus said, More blessings
come from giving than receiving”.
