Ansary Muhammed told MyCity Logan that Merciful Servants began with around 10 to 20 meals a week. In its report of 6 October, the publication described an organisation providing up to 700 meals a week across Logan and Brisbane. [M1]
There is another part of the work worth following. Merciful Servants is also involved in Unity Garden at Crestmead. Its project page describes a shared space where neighbours can garden, exchange knowledge and get to know one another. [M2]
A meal meets an immediate need. A garden offers a different kind of opportunity: somewhere to take part in making something together.
Both activities are part of Merciful Servants. We do not yet know how the experiences of people using them overlap. But there is another part of the story to follow.
For now, there is something encouraging about a community making room for both kinds of care. Something to eat today, and somewhere people may find a reason to return.
