About Us
Welcome to The Open Door Community Inc
At The Open Door Community, we believe that no one should have to face hardship alone.
We are a volunteer-led, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting individuals and families experiencing financial hardship, crisis and life's unexpected challenges across Wollondilly, Wingecarribee and Camden.
Whether someone needs emergency food relief, practical support, advocacy or simply a compassionate person to listen, our aim is to provide assistance with dignity, respect and without judgement.
Our belief is simple: sometimes all someone needs is an open door.
Our mission statement
Our mission is to provide free, compassionate and accessible support to individuals and families experiencing hardship, with a strong focus on the Wollondilly community.
We aim to ensure no one has to face tough times alone by providing practical assistance, including food and essential hampers, referrals, advocacy and connection to other services and community supports.
While Wollondilly is at the heart of what we do, where resources and capacity allow, we may also provide support to people in surrounding communities.
We are committed to creating a safe, welcoming and judgement-free environment where people feel seen, valued and supported. Our mission is grounded in community, driven by kindness, and built on the belief that sometimes, someone just needs an open door.
