The following are Community Organisations we have links with and support with our gifts. Members of Christ Church are involved in various ways with each of them.

Boys’ Town near Petropolis - a shelter giving a full time home for up to 20 boys who cannot live with their parents, or have been abandoned. A day care and crèche serving nearly 200 children is held during the week. There is also a Help to Families plan for boys who have been living in the shelter. Donations, including non-perishable supplies are welcome through the church office. Meet the boys at the annual lunch at Christ Church and/or sponsor one of them.

This is a joint venture between the Anglican Church and the Carmelite Sâo Martinho Association. Donations are needed to provide salaries for staff, the cost of services, school and office supplies, and to cover the cost of ‘blue collar’ training.
