Highlights: Our AGM is scheduled in early December, although mainly via zoom, with only the actual committee gathering. As we see the restrictions to the COVID pandemic easing, more community groups, with COVID Safe Plans in place, are preparing to return. SJOS will now start to plan some friend and fundraising activities for 2021. It is hoped that some large events will be allowed early in the year. The SJOS Mission has remained alive during COVID, and in 2021, it will continue to support the disadvantaged and needy in our community.

13.01.2022 Hi Facebook Followers, It’s with great sadness to inform you all that this year’s Spring High Tea fundraiser event has been cancelled, due to a very low number of ticket sales. We are issuing full refunds and will be in contact with those who have purchased tickets. Only primary ticket purchasers will receive a refund.... Therefore, on behalf of the committee, I would like to sincerely apologise for the cancellation. Unfortunately, these were circumstances which were beyond our control, however, we intend to make next year’s Spring High Tea fundraiser event even more spectacular so I hope you can join us then. For questions, please contact us by email: [email protected] Regards, SJOS Committee

08.01.2022 SJOS Newsletter - September 2020 Update To all our supporters & friends... Our September 2020 Update Newsletter is now available via our website, the link is attached to this post.... Highlights: With the current Stage 4 COVID regulations in place, the movement in the SJOS Housing Units has slowed. Families are able to move on, into permanent housing, but we are unable to take new families. As such there are no vacant units. The Food Store and the Bread Bank are still continuing to serve, and although less busy than in pre-pandemic times, the families value the support they receive. A COVID Safe Plan is in place to support all SJOS Volunteers and Friends. To help us to continue to support those in need, please considering donating to us: sjos.org.au/donate
