In the spirit of giving - Business Helping Hands
Parramatta Chamber of Commerce proudly holds an annual BBQ for the Homeless at Parramatta Mission. This event is only possible through the generosity of local businesses and volunteers that help make this happen.
This event was held last Friday in a beautifully decorated dining hall at Parramatta Mission. Volunteers from the business community donated food, drinks, items and their time to serve a lovely lunch to 200 homeless guests from our community.
200 guests enjoyed a beautiful Christmas lunch with all the trimmings.
