G-RAP is the Geelong Refugee Assistance Program. Throughout the month, members of numerous Geelong churches come together and arrange a 'distribution day' at the start of every month that takes place at St. Andrew's.
G-RAP holds a day where second hand clothes and household items that were donated to us become available for new arrivals and refugees to take to assist with their transition into Australia.
This date can often change, so please contact us for more details.

When the program does run, it is a once weekly opportunity for women of different cultures to learn and practice English, as well as learn different crafts from other places. This can include cooking meals from their home countries, making floral wreaths with native plants, knitting/sewing, and learning other activities.
