    Mecca Bah to host 5th annual Salvos Christmas Day Brunch

    For the fifth year in a row, Mecca Bah will host the Salvos Christmas Day Brunch for around 100 Salvation Army Clients.

Regular volunteers for this annual event contribute their time by driving guests from the Salvation Army on Bourke Street to Mecca Bah, and spending time speaking with those in need of a listening ear. Brodie Holland (retired Collingwood footballer) and Melbourne's new Lord Mayor, Robert Doyle have both supported the Salvos Christmas Brunch for several years.

    What: Salvos Christmas Day Brunch
    When: 25th Dec 09, 10:30am – 12.30pm
    Mecca Bah will afterwards open to the general public for Christmas Day Lunch from 1.30pm
