A Christmas Treat
So Others Can Eat
Gingerbread House of Welcome
St Mary's House of Welcome is excited to be partnering with much-loved Victorian institutions, Brunetti Classico, Chocolatier Australia and Bisko Bakehouse to bring delicious gingerbread houses and DIY kits, decadent European style chocolates and buttery shortbread to our community this holiday season. All proceeds will go towards the St Mary’s House of Welcome Welcome Relief Meals Program, allowing us to provide breakfast and lunch for up to 200 of our homeless and rough sleeping community members every day.
Our Premium DIY Gingerbread House of Welcome Kits are handmade in Melbourne with everything you need to build and design your own edible gingerbread house. Perfect for adding a creative twist to your festivities, our gingerbread kits are a great choice for any seasonal celebration, whether it’s with family, friends or colleagues.
When you choose to buy a gingerbread kit or a fully assembled house, chocolates or shortbread, you're not just indulging in holiday delight – you're also making a meaningful impact on the lives of those facing chronic homelessness and disadvantage in Melbourne.
Supporting People who are Homeless
St Mary’s House of Welcome is a not-for-profit open access centre in the heart of Melbourne providing basic essential services to people who are homeless and experiencing poverty, severe and persistent mental health issues, and those who are extremely isolated and socially marginalised.
St Mary’s House of Welcome’s open-door policy means that anyone who needs help can come to the centre for practical assistance. Whether it’s a meal, a shower and a change of clean clothes or other material aid, or more specialist support such as information, referral to access specialist services, legal support and emergency relief, at St Mary’s House of Welcome, we open our doors to those in need.
