About Us

Every cup of coffee or meal we serve makes a difference by contributing to social justice. We create opportunities for vulnerable persons to access training programs and inclusive community connections

The cafes and catering support this mission through a number of initiatives including:

  • Paid traineeships for people facing barriers to employment through the Skilling Queenslanders for Work program

  • Free and accessible ready-made meals and non-perishable food items to community members impacted by food insecurity

  • Collaborations with Micah Projects' Community Connections team including Community Meals, People's Markets, Music and Art Groups

  • Partnerships with other community organisations, including the Mercy Community's Romero Centre, to cook and distribute meals to Brisbane's refugee community. We also host pop-up fundraising dinners!

  • Distribution of safe and healthy ready-made meals via Micah Projects’ Homelessness and Domestic Violence outreach teams and Community Partners such as Bric Housing.

  • Partnership with the United Artists Project which engages with artists who have a lived experience of social isolation and exclusion as a result of marginalisation and the stigmas associated with Homelessness, Mental Health, Disability and Poverty 

  • Partnerships with OzHarvest, SecondBite and Foodbank to redirect food waste from landfill. These food items are then used to stock the free and accessible community pantry and to produce the free ready-made meals

We believe that a social enterprise cafe that integrates training, employment, and social justice can have a transformative impact on the lives of individuals facing adversity while fostering a more inclusive and just community.
