History

Grainery Care was established in July 2000. It took over the incorporated association previously known as Coalfields Diakonia Incorporated. Coalfields Diakonia had operated in the Cessnock area for 15 years in association with Valley Medical Practice. 

Grainery Care works with the “least, the last and the lost” in the Hunter region to bring them “Life in all its fullness” (Our motto).

Now based in Steel River, Newcastle, the objects of the association are..

To establish and carry on welfare and benevolent services solely for the benefit of persons in necessitous circumstances including;

The direct relief of poverty, sickness, suffering, distress, misfortune, destitution and helplessness, of the inhabitants of the Hunter Valley and in particular the residents of the Greater Cessnock, Maitland, Port Stephens, Newcastle and Lake Macquarie areas, without distinction of age, sex, race, political inclination, religious views, or other opinions,

The charity will enlist and cooperate with the local authorities, voluntary organisations and inhabitants in community efforts to reduce social and educational disadvantages and their consequences in maladaptive lifestyle patterns.
