Bringing HELP & HOPE
One in eight people (13.8%), including one in six children (16.6%), live below the poverty line according to the latest data*.
In total, there are over three million (3,319,000) people in poverty In Australia, including 761,000 children.
The average weekly income of people in poverty (from different-sized families) is $304 below the poverty line. This is known as the poverty gap. The poverty gap increased steadily from $168 a week in 1999 to $304 in June 2022
With the overwhelming needs in our community, LIFE Community aims to utilise our greatest resource – PEOPLE. We aim to bring Help & Hope to Australians with love and care through our social services.
The initiatives we have established impact the wider community and with your support we can’t wait to expand on what we are already doing with many opportunities that are ahead of us. We believe that together we have the power to reverse the poverty cycle in Australia.

With the rising cost of housing in Australia, families are finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet. Many families living under the poverty line face the difficult choice between rent & food
LIFE Community Kitchen provides a hot nutritious meal once a week, every week.
LIFE Community Kitchen does not just provide food, but also an opportunity for our diners to make genuine connections with one another at the dinner table.
Every Thursday, Para Hills Community Club, 6pm
LIFE COMMUNITY BBQ
Every Friday, our team attends Pitman Park and provides a BBQ lunch for the vulnerable people in the surrounding area who are experiencing homelessness, social isolation and unemployment.
Those who are disadvantaged can enjoy a warm meal and experience social connection
Last year, over 1 2 million Australian children lived in food-insecure households Nearly half (43%) of severely food insecure parents have shared that at least once a week their children go a whole day without any food.
We believe that every child deserves a healthy breakfast to start their day, so our program is committed to providing healthy and nutritious meals,
Additionally, with the support of schools and our volunteer teams we are creating a social support network for students who may be struggling.
