QUEENSLAND SCHOOL LUNCH
Community Service (Liberia) Incorporated is providing school lunches to families and caregivers from various suburbs in South East Brisbane. The purpose of the Queensland School Lunch project is to assist families with school-going children who are within the category of low income, unemployed and on Centrelink.

SCHOOL GEARS/SUPPLIES
Community Service (Liberia) Incorporated is also providing school supplies/gears to families and caregivers from various suburbs in South East Brisbane. The purpose of the Queensland School Gears/Supplies project is to assist families with school-going children who are within the category of low income, unemployed and/or on Centrelink. Because it has claimed our attention that many migrant students and families struggled to meet the basic school supplies/gears requirements at the very beginning of the school year due to multiple financial requirements that surround everyday living expenses. The school gears/supplies project helped families to balance their budget during the first quarter of each school year. Meanwhile, in 2017 and 2018, our organisation made significant progress as a result of 22 pairs of new school shoes that were donated by GIVIT which were given to students free of charge. 

 ELDERLY AND DISABLED DOMESTIC SERVICES
Community Service (Liberia) Incorporated is providing domestic services to the elderly and disabled in South East Brisbane. Services provided are lawn mowing, gardening & weeding, cleaning, laundry, clothes ironing and packing, car washing & detailing. These services are s dear to the elderly and disabled and since they are unable to do themselves anymore, our organisation has decided to give back by filling in the gap for them.

JOB READINESS FOR YOUTHS
Community Service (Liberia) Incorporated is engaging African migrant and refugee youths in South East Brisbane by providing them with volunteering opportunities in areas such as bookkeeping, administration, networking, fundraising, event planning. The objective of the project is to assist African migrant and refugee youths with tertiary education with the requisite job experience that managers are looking for in the labour market. 

COMSLIB RELIEF SERVICES
Community Service (Liberia) Incorporated provides home materials to families that are settling in Brisbane from one year to five years. This project is aimed at making Queensland, particularly the South East Brisbane attractive and welcoming to newcomers. 

In order to encourage African migrant and refugee students to develop an interest in numeracy and literacy, QAMS provides school lunch to families on a fortnight basis. Our school lunch has an opportunity that keeps students spending more time with their school lessons at school and at home.  Therefore, parents and caregivers are encouraged to contact us for more information regarding this unique opportunity. 

QAMS also provides school materials for African migrant and refugee students from low-income families. This initiative is undertaken on a quarterly basis. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to seek information and /or make their request in January, April, August and December. Please click QAMS Relief Services (QRS) link to view school materials that you can request. However, making a request does not guarantee that you are entitled to or will receive what you have requested. As non-funded Community-Based Organisation (CBO), we depend on the generacity of our partners and supporters to meet the needs and demands of our clients.   

Online Donation

At a point when we were about to close the community library project due to huge demands from parents and caregivers to enroll all the kids that needed assistance, we turned to Foodbank Queensland for lunch and they provided more than what was expected, which enabled the project to end on time. 

Our organization is providing "work-placement" opportunities to students from EVOCCA who are completing their diplomas in "Community Development" - opportunities that give students real-life employment experiences that are needed in the corporate world.
