There once were chaplains from Cairns,
On St. Patrick's Day they'd make turns,
Offering help to those in need,
With kind words and thoughtful deeds,
Their compassion and care truly burns.

Hey there, Cairns!
We just had to give an EPIC shoutout 📢 to our friends over at Kenfrost Homes. Last week, they showed us some serious love by generously supporting our "Volunteer Thank You" celebration at The Chambers. We had an absolute blast gathering together to celebrate all our wonderful volunteers and to say THANK YOU to them all.
Without the help of community-minded businesses like Kenfrost Homes, we wouldn't be able to make the impact we do in our community. We are truly grateful for their kindness and generosity🫶

See you tonight, Cairns! 🧨
The Cairns Street Chaplains, they roam
Through streets and alleys far from home
With hearts that beat for those in need
They walk with purpose, watchful heed
When good nights go bad, they're there
With kindness, patience, love to spare
They offer aid, a steady hand
And guide lost souls back to safe land
They pick up glass that could do harm
And keep the streets safe from alarm
With water cups and bottles too
They help keep the community anew
From vulnerable to recharging phones
The Street Chaplains are never alone
With first aid kits and rides for some
They shine bright, like the morning sun
So let's applaud these noble souls
Whose kindness, care, and love unfolds
In Cairns they serve, their hearts aglow
The Street Chaplains, there for you, we know.
