About

Margaret Court Community Outreach (MCCO) is one of Australia's largest self-funded welfare organisations, operating three food relief centres across Perth, Western Australia. Founded in 1997 by tennis legend Margaret Court and Barry Court, MCCO distributes over 120 tonnes of food monthly to families and individuals facing food insecurity, serving approximately 778 clients per week with food hampers, clothing, and pastoral care support.

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.

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.
