"Welcome to The Mission Cafe. Today your meal is being prepared by a team of dedicated professionals and a group of talented individuals who share extraordinary stories.. These individuals are likely to have missed the opportunity of completing their education & gaining a foothold in a job. There is also the chance they may not have a home or had friends drift away since the onset of a major illness. 1 in 5 people in the community will be affected at some point in their lives by the same illness. It’s called mental illness.
Most of us know someone who has been affected by a mental illness and would hope they recover, regaining the hope of lost opportunities with the support to succeed. The Mission Cafe will continue to offer our extraordinary individuals opportunities in training and employment, with Prahran Mission's belief that every person has the right to a decent life."
