We’re absolutely delighted to share that MCSC has received a $20,000 CommBank Staff Foundation Community Grant!

This generous support will help us continue providing practical support to local people and families doing it tough.
From putting food on the table to providing emergency relief and helping people navigate challenging times, every dollar helps us make sure our community knows they’re not alone.

A huge thank you to the Mornington CommBank Staff Foundation for investing in our community and helping us make a real difference.

And a very special thank you to Joanne Jhaveri for championing MCSC and driving this opportunity forward. Your dedication and support mean so much to us!

It’s community supporting community, and we couldn’t do what we do without support like this!.

We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Donna Morabito back to the MCSC team, this time in the role of Relationships and Funding Lead!

Donna is pictured in front centre surrounded by some of our beautiful volunteers, Giulia, Rosie and Gail.

Donna is certainly no stranger to MCSC. She was previously part of our team as Volunteer Coordinator and also served on our Board for a time, so she already knows what makes our community and our organisation so special.

Donna reluctantly left MCSC to join BackTrack Youth Works, an incredible organisation providing holistic youth work, education, accommodation, training, employment, and the wraparound support of the BackTrack family to help some of the toughest kids get their lives back on track.

During her time there, Donna gained valuable insight into the power of relationships, community building and storytelling in sharing impact, mobilising support and creating change.
Now, she’s bringing all that knowledge and decades of experience in the NFP sector back to MCSC!

In her new role, Donna will help us strengthen relationships with our supporters, funding partners, and wider community, building on the connections that make our work possible.

We couldn’t be happier to have Donna back where she belongs.

Welcome home, Donna!

Pictured here, our very own CEO Ben Smith experienced what’s possible when Victoria’s community sector comes together.

Congratulations to Victorian Council of Social Service (VCOSS) and the whole team on a fantastic Community Sector Conference. It was a day of connecting, sharing ideas and looking ahead to the issues shaping Victoria’s future.

We were proud to be there alongside CISVic Member agencies Knox Infolink and South East Community Links and to see our network part of such an important conversation.

Two things to highlight as part of the advocacy:

✅ VCOSS’s Essentials for Everyone campaign, for a Victoria where everyone can access the essentials needed to live with dignity, hope and opportunity, and where the community sector is properly resourced to be there when people need it.

✅ Four-year funding agreements for community organisations. Long-term funding certainty means organisations can plan ahead, keep skilled people and deliver consistent support to their communities.

That’s exactly why we’re calling for Backing Victoria’s Frontline: a four-year investment in Victoria’s Community Information and Support network. It means proven local services like ours can keep supporting their communities, critical gaps can be filled, and more Victorians can get practical help early, before hardship becomes crisis.

A strong community sector is essential infrastructure. As we head to the state election, our collective voice matters.

Welcome to the MCSC Team Jaime!

We’re very excited to introduce Jaime Horton, our new Housing Case Worker at MCSC.

Jaime is pictured here at a recent MP Shire event bringing awareness to the homelessness crisis here on the Mornington Peninsula.

Finding safe, secure and affordable housing has become increasingly difficult for people across our community. With limited public housing, long waitlists, rising private rental costs and growing pressure on the local housing system, more people are finding themselves facing housing stress or at risk of homelessness.

That’s where Jaime comes in.

Working alongside our Housing & Homelessness Coordinator, Jo Kidder and the broader MCSC team, Jaime will provide individualised, practical and ongoing support to people experiencing housing stress, homelessness or who are at risk of losing their housing.

Jaime’s role is about more than finding someone a roof over their head. It’s about walking alongside people, understanding their individual circumstances, advocating when needed and connecting them with the right supports to help build a more secure future.

We know the need for housing support in our community continues to grow, and we’re incredibly pleased to be strengthening our capacity to respond.

Please join us in giving Jaime a very warm MCSC welcome!
We’re so happy to have you on the team, Jaime!

As part of Mornington Peninsula Shire seniors festival we are hosting an open day on FRIDAY 9th OCT - 11am - 3pm right here at MCSC!

We’ll be bringing together a range of local organisations and services to showcase what they offer and provide an opportunity for older members of our community to come along, meet local service providers, ask questions, and discover what’s available to them.

To make the day even more welcoming, Rotary Club of Mount Martha will be hosting a BBQ and providing refreshments, giving everyone the opportunity to grab something to eat, have a cuppa and enjoy a chat while exploring the different services on offer and tasty treats served in our meeting room café.

We’d love for you to join us to see the important work we do in our community.

No need to RSVP just come along and say hi! 👋
