Life is full of challenges, and finding the right support can be part of the struggle. AT MRCS we believe everybody should get a helping hand when they need it. Whether it’s managing money, raising kids or dealing with the unexpected, the stresses of daily life quickly add up. Let us help you take the next step so you can overcome the struggle.
We take the time to listen without judgement.
We triage the issue and review the available support with you.
We connect you to the right people and services who can help.
Food is essential to stay healthy, but it isn’t always easy to access. Soaring grocery prices, medical costs and unforeseen expenses can make it hard to afford nutritious, fresh food.
If you’re struggling to put food on the table, come in and see us. We have food relief packs* that include everyday pantry basics and toiletries, as well as regular drops from Oz Harvest. We cook nutritious meals in our commercial kitchen that you can take home.
If you’re struggling to pay household energy bills, you could be eligible for Energy Accounts Payment Assistance (EAPA). As an approved provider we can assess your eligibility and walk you through the application process and eligibility requirements.
Sometimes it helps to get someone else’s perspective on an issue so you can figure out what to do next. We take the time to listen and understand what’s happening so we can advocate for you. Whether you need help negotiating with a real estate agent or property manager, working out a payment plan with a service provider or just need a hand filling out important paperwork, we can help.
Maitland Region Community Support is a not-for-profit organisation that connects individuals and families to the people, resources and support they need to overcome the challenges of life.
