Programs
Information and Referral
The Griffith Community Centre provides quick and easy access to information, including web-based information, about local services and resources to individuals and community groups.
We assist individuals to build connections with appropriate services, community supports and informal social networks and increase their safety and resilience by allowing them to address issues in the early stages.
We connect the service system by participating in partnerships and networks to facilitate better coordination of community services. We do this by making active referrals to, and accepting them from the local network of services and participating in planning to enhance the coordination and delivery of local community services.
Griffith Carevan
Griffith Carevan is a mobile food van addressing the need to assist local individuals and families who are struggling, or facing hardship, due to poverty, food insecurity, social isolation, and homelessness.
Carevan provides weekly hot, nutritious meals served by our friendly teams of volunteers at two alternate locations: Dave Taylor Park and Parkinson Crescent. Anyone is welcome to come and share a meal at the Griffith Carevan. Additional support is provided through the community setting, to help people feel connected, valued and respected.
