About

Giving Philosophy

MCCO's mission is to provide more than just food and clothing - they aim to encourage, empower and equip families and individuals with life skills to change their circumstances, offering 'a hand up not a handout.' Their approach combines practical assistance with pastoral care, delivered 'with love and without condition' to support the whole person and bring about cultural change that impacts families and the broader community.

Tips for Applicants

MCCO is a service provider rather than a grant-maker - they directly serve individuals and families in need through their three centres. If you are an individual or family needing assistance, contact their centres during operating hours. If you represent an organization seeking food donations or partnership, approach them about their existing distribution networks. The organization welcomes volunteers, food donations, clothing donations, and financial contributions. They have established relationships with schools and run a Spring Fundraising Luncheon as their major annual fundraising event.
