When the development team began work on-site at 200 George Street, Sydney, they quickly noticed the number of homeless and disadvantaged people in the local area. Deciding that they wanted to do something positive to address the issue, the team approached Scots Presbyterian Church of Sydney, a nearby church that was already providing food to those in need on a regular basis.
As a result, Mirvac is now serving hot breakfasts to disadvantaged people in the area every Friday morning through ‘Galleries’–a public place, that is free to access, promotes human interaction and educates the volunteers on a sociocultural level.

As well as volunteering in the kitchen, the 200 George Street construction team has raised enough money to fund the entire initiative for a year, lightening the load on the church and showing our commitment the community. We now have 14 Mirvac employees volunteering their time across two shifts every Friday, and have served over 1,500 hot breakfasts this year alone.
