Christmas in Melbourne: Christmas for the lonely

I belong to Bayside Church and each year for around the past 12 years, my church hosts a lunch on Christmas Day for those who are alone or lonely. They continue to seek volunteers to join in on the day and at this stage have around 250 lonely or otherwise people registered for the lunch. They also give gifts to all the children who come and our congregation donates those.

This is a clip they have on their site about the lunch with Deborah Gates, the co-ordinator giving an outline of what takes place.
