Emmanuel City Mission

The mission of Emmanuel City Mission (ECM) is to connect the homeless and vulnerable with people who care; increasing trust and decreasing loneliness.

ECM is located in a large warehouse-like space in South Brisbane where homeless and vulnerable people can eat a healthy meal, rest, wash clothes, have a shower, be out of the weather, be safe and very importantly connect with people that genuinely care about them. Safe relationships can be formed even of only for the day. ECM is open 7 days a week and people can trust that we will be here for them tomorrow.

ECM also offers space for other outreach service providers free of charge to foster a diversity of connections and also enable a person to seek a pathway beyond their current circumstances.

Similarly, ECM seeks to build partnerships with other local community organisations (including schools, parishes and local businesses) to improve services to the homeless while also building connections to the vulnerable in the community.
