Agape Outreach Inc. is a charity organisation making a difference in the lives of hurting, broken, and disenfranchised people. Founded on January 26th, 2009, Agape began when Theresa Mitchell found she could no longer walk past people on the street. So, she began handing out a small number of meals in her local area, cooked in her very own kitchen.

Agape, now based on Recreation Street in Tweed Heads, has more than 200 volunteers and 4 employees. It is volunteer-based and made up mostly of retirees and university interns with a heart for people. We operate between Byron Bay on the North Coast of New South Wales and Runaway Bay on the Gold Coast in Queensland, providing over 800 hot meals weekly to vulnerable people on the streets and various services.

Agape (from Ancient Greek agápē) means ‘unconditional love’ and embraces a profound sacrificial love that transcends and persists, regardless of circumstance. It is what we desire to pass on to others every day.

We are not affiliated with a church. Instead, Agape is run with Theresa’s heart for Jesus and nothing more—no church services, no praying over meals, no preaching, just love and action. Volunteers and clients from all walks of life and beliefs are welcome, so please join us.
