• Support and grow our practical initiatives such as: Opshop (serving once a week), Food box support (monthly) and Bread distribution times (Tuesday 9am)
• Explore what journeying with 3-5 families over 12 months would look like as an extension of wide table initiative
• Explore new ideas for how our spaces could better serve the community such as hall use, workshops, partnerships, programs, support etc
• Help create an environment that feels open, inclusive, and relational
