MCC Welfare Services Inc.

MCC Welfare Services Inc. We are passionate about connecting communities and connecting you with our community. We recognise that each day is a gift and should be celebrated!

MCC Welfares Services began in 1999 through a simple request to Reverend Greg Smith:

“I am an HIV positive man. I suffer from night sweats and I need a double bed. I have been to two well-known benevolent institutions to ask for assistance and they told me, ‘we don’t look after your kind here, try somewhere else.’ Can you help me?”

Our answer was “YES.”

We didn’t know where we were going to fi

nd a bed – perhaps we would buy one? Miracles happen and so MCC Welfare Services began firstly as a “bed project” until today, providing as best we can, a wide range of household and white goods for those in need. All goods are donated through the general community, deceased estates, commercial organisations and generous individual donors. The need in the community continues to grow. To date MCC Welfare Services has assisted over 3000 people, some in dire need. We invite you to peek through the windows, walk through the doors and maybe even dance with us on the back deck. You are welcome here!

Joy is one of our core values at MCCWS, and tonight’s Sydney Mardi Gras Parade offers a powerful reminder of what that value looks like when it comes alive in community. Joy is more than a moment of celebration—it’s an act of courage, a declaration of identity, and a way of creating belonging. As the city fills with colour, music, and pride, we honour the LGBTQIA+ community whose resilience, creativity, and leadership continue to inspire us.

Joy, in this context, is not simply happiness. It is connection, affirmation, and the freedom to live authentically. Mardi Gras shows us how joy can be healing and how it can strengthen the bonds between us. It creates space where people are seen, valued, and celebrated for who they are.

As we watch or participate in tonight’s parade, may we carry this spirit of joy into our work, our relationships, and the communities we serve.

Wishing everyone a safe, vibrant, joy‑filled Mardi Gras!

One minute it was 1 January and the next, it's Christmas Eve! I probably say this a lot - where has the year gone?!

To you and our wonderful supporters - thank you! We might be a small organisation at the moment but it is you who keep us going. Whether you donated weekly, fortnightly or made a one off donation, you have allowed us to keep saying 'yes' where we can.

Support is more than financial and you have continued to show up in ways that contribute to the life of MCCWS. I particularly want to call out those who were able to attend our Comedy night. There is always a great energy when people can gather in person and it was no exception this year.

I also want to thank Jace, Adam and Sarah for their ongoing commitment, counsel, ideas and dedication to serve on the board. Thanks for seeing MCCWS through our 26th year.

On behalf of all at MCCWS, I wish you a wonderful Christmas. Whether you are working, spending it alone, or celebrating with family and friends, may the season be what you need it to be.

Thank you again for 2025. Until we meet again in 2026, take care!

Merry Christmas
