St Luke's Barton Hill: Play Team & Cooking Team Volunteers Needed
During the school holidays St Luke’s Barton Hill offer a free meal and fun activities to those experiencing food poverty in the Barton Hill/Lawrence Hill area.

St Luke’s are in need of people that can get involved in leading and/or supporting cooking tasty nutritional food for children who are experiencing holiday hunger.
