Essendon Football Club players have helped out with Thursday Soup Kitchen and learned how we support refugees in Bendigo during their AFL Community Camp in Bendigo.

Michael Hurley, Sam Draper, Kyle Langford, Mason Redman and Adam Saad ventured to our Fork In The Road community hub on Thursday afternoon to serve meals and talk with people attending the weekly Soup Kitchen from 4pm.

Our Settlement Services team hosted Joe Daniher, Orazio Fantasia, Martin Gleeson, James Stewart, Dylan Clark and Cian McBride on Friday morning.

The group heard about how we support refugees to settle in Bendigo and the activities enjoyed by our Karen and Afghan youth groups.

The players asked questions and shared stories about their own journeys into AFL football.

A huge thanks to AFL Central Victoria for organising the visit and the Essendon Football Club players for showing interest in what we do for the community.

We thoroughly enjoyed your visit and our staff and clients got a lot out of the time you gave us.
