Canice’s Kitchen opens door to employment and training
Canice’s Kitchen, an inner Sydney grassroots charity, connects with communities experiencing hardship, and for 30 years has helped individuals to manage homelessness or social exclusion. During Covid lockdowns, as with many organisations, they were forced to adapt their services so operations could continue. It was not straightforward, but they continued to safely prepare and deliver meals, and provide other vital services.
