The Dining Room Mission
(TDRM)

The Dining Room Mission (TDRM) is a community-based charity that has been serving the Maroondah community since 2005. Every Tuesday evening from 5:00pm to 6:30pm, we provide free, nourishing two-course meals in a welcoming, inclusive and respectful environment for people experiencing hardship, disadvantage, social isolation, or simply seeking companionship and connection.

Our service is open to everyone. Guests may choose to enjoy their meal with others in our dining room or take it away to enjoy elsewhere. When available, fresh produce and grocery items donated by our generous supporters are also distributed to guests.

The Dining Room Mission Inc supports individuals and families from many different backgrounds who may be facing homelessness, financial hardship, loneliness, marginalisation or other personal challenges. Alongside a nutritious meal, guests can find friendship, encouragement and information about other community and welfare services when required.

Our weekly meal service is made possible by a dedicated team of volunteers who source, prepare and serve meals with care, dignity and respect. We are grateful for the ongoing support of St John the Divine Anglican Church, local churches, community groups, businesses, individual donors and Maroondah City Council, whose continued support has helped sustain our service for many years.

Located in the hall behind St John the Divine Anglican Church, Toorak Avenue, Croydon, opposite Croydon Railway Station, The Dining Room Mission is an independent incorporated not-for-profit charity with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status. While we are grateful for the generous support of St John the Divine Anglican Church and many local churches and community organisations, our service is independent and welcomes everyone, regardless of faith, background or circumstances.

Whether you are looking for a nourishing meal, companionship, an opportunity to volunteer, or a way to support our work through a donation, you are warmly welcome.
