The Dining Room Mission
(TDRM)

The Dining Room Mission (TDRM) is a community meal service for struggling families. It opened for business in November 2005 and its aim is to provide a safe place where the guests’ fears might be replaced with hope; where they can enjoy a substantial meal and experience a sense of social inclusion, support for mental health, a feeling of belonging, and a connection to community and God.

The Dining Room Mission Inc is a tax‐deductible, not‐for‐profit charity that supports the local Maroondah community by providing a free meal service every Tuesday evening from 5:00pm to 6:30pm. Donations of produce, when available, are also provided to guests.

The impact of TDRM is significant on both guests and volunteers alike. The service caters for young and old, individuals and families who may need physical or emotional support or who are looking for social connection.

TDRM is staffed by enthusiastic volunteers from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. It is located in the hall behind St John the Divine Anglican Church, Toorak Ave Croydon, across the road from the Croydon Railway Station.

TDRM relies on donations and philanthropic grants for its funding.  TDR Mission wishes to particularly recognise the support from the Maroondah City Council which has provided regular grants in support of the Dining Rooms Mission’s operations.

The Dining Room Mission is not affiliated with any church or religious organisation.
