FREE MEAL DELIVERY
for those in need
Love Loud provides this Meal Delivery initiative to all people in need.
Love Loud – Free Meal Delivery is an initiative of Clayton Church of Christ that first started in April where we partnered with Monash Council and Monash University to provide free meals to families and international students who were impacted by Covid 19.
In April 2020, we partnered with Monash Council and Monash University to provide free meals to families and international students who were impacted by COVID. Over the 3 years of operating, we have worked with various providers across the local community, with occasionally extras such as fresh eggs, bread, frozen pies and care packs. More than just food, our recipients receive the realisation that they’re not alone, and that someone cares about them.
Since then, Love Loud – Free Meals Delivery has grown and expanded to not only helping those impacted by the effects of COVID -19 but also to those struggling financially, mentally, physically, displaced or in crisis to get back on their feet.
To-date we have fund raised over $60,000 through our church congregation, public and 2 grants and provided over 14,000 meals.
(Note: Our Love Loud initiatives are supported by our church congregation and the public. Up to 10% of the designated giving to ’Sow A Seed’ and ‘Love Loud Meals’ funds goes to support the initiative’s operating expenses).
