Completing the grainery care Centre in Mayfield
For over 20 years Grainery Care has been providing empowerment and support to the
people of the Hunter region. Having operated out of The Grainery Church and different rented properties in Mayfield and Islington, in 2020 we began the search for new premises in a location more central to the community we serve.
In 2020 we purchased the old bakery at 252 Maitland Road, Mayfield - with the vision of turning it into a community centre that would house:
- our Foodcare Centre,
- a cafe
- meeting rooms for support groups with usable community spaces, and
- accommodation for at-risk people in our area.
Comprising 2 buildings, the development of the property was split in two with Stage 1 (Café and new Foodcare Centre), funded through generous donations, now completed.
The 2023 Grainery Care Centre Appeal will support the continued development of Stage 2 which includes new meeting rooms for support groups, community space including a peaceful indoor/outdoor lounge and hospitality area as well as additional at-risk accommodation for families from the community in need of support.
Will you partner with us in raising $100,000 to cover the completion of Stage 2 at the Grainery Care Centre?
Your tax deductible donation will positively impact the lives of thousands in our community through the provision of cheap and low-cost food, empowering training and support ,and life-saving accommodation for people in need.
