Making a Difference

Jeff Gambin and his wife Alina have been putting their hospitality expertise to the service of the community for the last 14 years. Former restaurateurs, they have committed themselves to helping the homeless in various ways.

Seven days a week, all year around, they serve more 400 hot meals a night from a van. They also help provide long term solutions – since 1993 they have helped more than 1200 people find jobs and housing! They also have a restaurant in Leichardt where they provides hands-on hospitality training for those in need.

Their organization is called JEF (Just Enough Faith). It has no religious affiliation. They are always looking for an extra hand or donations of all kinds – from food to farming equipment! www.justenoughfaith.org

How many of us think we are too busy to help with good works like this, when maybe its just a matter of comfort? How many hours are gobbled up in front of the television, when we could be getting out and making a difference?
