22.01.2022 Unfortunately, we have made the tough decision to once again close the CCCM Op Shop until further notice. *** THE FOODBANK WILL STILL BE OPERATING AS USUAL. This has been a tough decision to make, and one we do not take lightly. Due to low customer numbers and a number of our staff unable to work due to their vulnerable status, it has become difficult to operate.... We will be back as soon as we can, and will regularly revisit this decision. Please note that our food relief services continue to operate, and as of today the foodbank is now open 10am - 3pm Mon-Thurs, 10am - 12:15 Friday. As always, if you are feeling unwell please stay home and get in touch with us if you require assistance. For more information on our response to COVID-19, please visit our website: www.foodbankmelton.org.au/coronavirus.
22.01.2022 CCCM will continue to be open throughout Stage 4 restrictions in metropolitan Melbourne. Leaving the house to access food relief is part of your 4 reasons to leave the home. We have strict COVIDSafe measures in place including compulsory masks, increased cleaning, social distancing and zero-contact service delivery. We have also introduced new ways to access our services - including phone intake interviews. You can find out more information about these changes on our website.... In accordance with government regulations, we ask you to come to the foodbank alone and you should wear a face covering. The health and safety of our staff, volunteers, and clients is our highest priority and we will continue to work safely to deliver our essential service to the community. We are continuing to follow closely the advice from the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) and other government organisations. It is as important as ever to ensure you do not come into the centre if you are feeling unwell. If you are feeling unwell, it is vital you stay home and contact your GP or the Coronavirus hotline on 1800 675 398 (avail. 24/7 - keep Triple Zero (000) for emergencies.) If you, or someone else you know needs our help, please get in contact or share this message with them and encourage them to seek our assistance - we are here to help. Please also keep in mind that the change in restrictions may be difficult for some, so please ensure that we continue to support each other by following the restrictions and staying in touch with one another. * For more information on our stage 4 operations or our response to coronavirus, please visit: foodbankmelton.org.au/coronavirus. * For the latest information from the Victorian Government, including the current restrictions, please visit: www.vic.gov.au/coronavirus.

21.01.2022 Here at CCCM, food is currently going out the door as fast as it’s coming in! Kool Kidz asked what we needed and WOW! We had an awesome visit from Sami and an amazing man (We’re really sorry - we should’ve asked your name!) ... A great donation was unloaded from the car (Keeping COVIDSafe of course!) into all of our trolleys. Everything we could have hoped for was in it. The volunteers had a great time cataloging and putting everything away. Thank you so much to the Kool Kidz team once again for thinking of us. Your support means the world to us!
21.01.2022 Which emoji are you? It's Friday, and to help brighten up our days, we decided that we wanted to post something fun - we couldn't decide, but we came up with something finally ... a BuzzFeed Australia quiz! What emoji best describes you? Post your result in the comments and let's get to know you all! <3... https://www.buzzfeed.com/bumb/what-emoji-are-you-7m8wqjyloe
19.01.2022 After the pandemic, Denis can become a professional criminal! Its getting scary out there. Stay safe everyone!
19.01.2022 CCCM are extremely grateful for the ongoing support of the Melton Lodge and the Freemasons Victoria. Recently, we were fortunate enough to receive a $5000 grant from the Melton Lodge. CCCM have been blessed to have them on board and pray a blessing upon these guys and their families. They are truly special
18.01.2022 John was a great supporter of CCCM. A good, honest gentleman, a tireless worker for his local community and country who will be terribly missed by everyone who knew him. Sadly, now in God's care
18.01.2022 A big shoutout to Samie and Kool Kidz Ravenhall - Caroline Springs for their amazing community heart. Samie delivered this month’s collection this morning! We can not thank them enough for their generosity! (P.S - She takes a great photo too!)
17.01.2022 We know that it such a difficult time for so many at the moment, so please, if you need any help, please reach out as we're here to help our City of Melton community. It is as simple as sending us a message, email or giving us a call - we will listen. ---... We're keeping COVIDSafe - find out more here: www.foodbankmelton.org.au/coronavirus. See more
16.01.2022 We're so excited to announce that we received a $5000 grant from Serco Asia Pacific Foundation to assist us in our food relief services. We are so thankful to them for their contribution as part of their Coronavirus Community Support Fund Scheme and we can not thank whoever nominated us enough.
14.01.2022 For everyone who missed the Zoom event today, Pauline has a video of the presentation to Jenny on her retirement from CCCM. Jenny has been an amazing part of the CCCM team for over 25 years and a COVID retirement just doesn't do her justice for the many years of dedication she has put into the Melton community. The flexibility and support that was readily offered to everyone here, her one liners and quick sense of humour will be terribly missed by everyone.... We pray that Jenny enjoys all of the blessings that God has planned for her in her retirement. We all love you, Jenny!
13.01.2022 Hey everyone! We're closed for today's Queens Birthday public holiday. We will reopen from tomorrow morning at 10am, alongside the Op Shop reopening from 9am.... Stay safe, and enjoy the rest of your long weekend - but remember, please ensure you continue to adhere to the government restrictions currently surrounding COVID-19. You can find out more about the current restrictions at vic.gov.au/coronavirus.
12.01.2022 Please share this post to your networks and inform those international students who are in need of legal support
10.01.2022 We’d love to say hi, and a warm welcome to our new treasurer Brendan Richards to CCCM! Brendan is an active member of the Rotary Club of Melton and a great community worker. Yes he is smiling behind the mask! (Well he said he was ... )
10.01.2022 Thanks to the awesome Raj Pahwa for donating a cash register to us after our old one died. Trevor came in especially to give our Tuesday volunteers, Maureen, Barbara and Denis, a training session this morning and they enjoyed every minute of it! Let’s see by the end of day if they listened to him?!
10.01.2022 We’re so excited to announce a new partnership with Pets Of The Homeless Australia. They have provided us with pet food and supplies to help us help those who have pets in need. We're so grateful for their support in helping 'keep best friends together' and if you can, we hope you can show them your support by donating to them. * If you would like to find out more, or donate to Pets Of The Homeless, please visit www.petsofthehomeless.org.au.
08.01.2022 Combined Churches Melton are proud to support Didibahini Samajvictoria with vital food support for unsupported international students. If you are living in the City of Melton and in need of assistance, please contact the team - foodbankmelton.org.au/contactus.
07.01.2022 This is an important step in working to eliminate family violence in Victoria. However please know there are many support services available to assist you, and escaping family violence is one of the reasons to leave home at any time. If you are needing assistance, please get in contact with us as we can help support you in accessing help or contact one of the support services directly. If there is any immediate danger, please call 000.
07.01.2022 We don't often hear from clients after they leave our building, whether it is with food or budget help, but sometimes we do and more often than not we hear some amazing stories that melt the hearts of all of us here at CCCM. We wanted to share a story we received yesterday via a phone call from someone who has been so thankful for the help we were able to provide her with. She had been a regular visitor to the foodbank over the past few years, but she hasn’t visited since sho...rtly after the first lockdown here in Victoria in March. She wanted to thank us for all of the support we had given her over the years and she told us that her life has improved immensely thanks to our help and she was so glad for the resources that we had linked her into as they had helped her more than she could ever imagine. To say she brought tears to the team is an understatement and we are so glad that we have been able to help her out with both food and support so that she could get ahead and move on to bigger and better things. All we can say in return is that it is never just about the food or the budget help, it’s about recognising the beauty that is in the person and bringing it out so they can be their best. It’s for this reason, we do what we do. * If you, or anyone you know, need help please get in touch with us via our website - foodbankmelton.org.au. We’re open, and always here to help.
07.01.2022 The Victorian Government has again announced the implementation of Stage 3 restrictions across the metropolitan area of Melbourne - including the City of Melton.

Please ensure that you are following the Victorian Government’s directions and only leave the house for one of the four reasons stated. We will continue our stringent COVIDSafe measures including density requirements, social distancing, additional cleaning of our building and zero-contact service delivery to ensure the health and wellbeing of all of our volunteers, staff and clients is maintained. We are continuing to follow closely the advice from the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) and other government organisations. It is as important as ever to ensure you do not come into the centre if you are feeling unwell. If you are feeling unwell, it is vital you stay home and contact your GP or the Coronavirus hotline on 1800 675 398 (avail. 24/7 - keep Triple Zero (000) for emergencies.) We are here to help, so if you are self-isolating or feeling unwell and require assistance from us, please get in touch and we will assist you in the best way we can. * For more information on restrictions, and health advice please visit www.vic.gov.au/coronavirus. * For more information on CCCM’s response to Coronavirus or how to gain assistance from us, please visit our website - www.foodbankmelton.org.au/coronavirus.
06.01.2022 We’re so proud here at CCCM to be able to support this amazing group of people! God bless them for their hard work to help our community.
05.01.2022 Awh Jenny, where do we start? It has been a while - 25 years precisely! All of us here at CCCM would like to send our amazing Foodbank Food Manager our best wishes as she retires next Friday. Over the years, Jenny has been such an asset to our team and we are so sad to see her leave. She has worked within CCCM in a number of positions - reception, cleaner, driver, volunteer manager, warehouse access and much, much more. We are so grateful for her work in all of these areas - ...Jenny has meant so much to so many of us. In her retirement, she is planning on being more involved with her grandchildren and focusing on her gardening skills before she looks at some volunteering opportunities. We look forward to her beaming face on the front page of Home and Garden.
03.01.2022 Thank you so much to the team at Kool Kidz Ravenhall. Combined Churches is totally reliant on donations during COVID-19, yet it is a time of real need in our community. Thank you to the organisers and donors

01.01.2022 Community minded people are Melton’s most precious asset. Christmas is looking good for some if our clients due to the efforts of Michelle Oates and her supporters. This is Michelle’s first year of running a reverse advent calendar and a sure event to put her out of her comfort zone. May God bless you today and always for your lovely heart. Merry Christmas xxx
