This week, our breakfast meeting is being hosted by
Wellington City Mission.

Murray Edridge & Orange Sky
Murray Edridge, the Wellington City Missioner will be hosting us. After eating, we have the option to join a short tour of the new social supermarket hosted by WCM.
Orange Sky is a not-for-profit organisation providing people experiencing homelessness with access to free laundry services, warm showers and genuine, non-judgmental conversation, across New Zealand.
Their mission is to positively connect communities by providing a safe, positive and supportive environment for people who are often ignored or feel disconnected from their community.
This will be an informal meeting with no member duties*******
As WCM is a service for many vulnerable people, please ensure you wear your mask at all times, unless you are seated and eating.
Feel free to bring any food donations with you to pass on at the meeting.
