ABOUT

What our Merchants
and their customers
are saying

I love Welcome Merchant – in a time when trying to do the right thing seems overwhelming and full of Catch-22’s, it’s great to have a guide.

Looking for a GIFT THAT GIVES BACK? Look no further! Our range of Goody Boxes highlights the talents of refugee entrepreneurs and gives back to the community in more ways than one. We're donating $5 from each Goody Box sold until the end of Refugee Week (June 25) will be donated to the @racsaustralia. For the past 35 years, this Sydney-based community legal centre provides free legal advice to refugees, people seeking asylum, the stateless and forcibly displaced people. ⁠ We welcome this wonderful news BUT granting this family bridging visas isn't good enough, @jim_chalmers_mp ! They've been through enough already. @australianlabor , you can do better! #NationalReconciliationWeek starts today. This year, the theme is "Be Brave, Make a Change". What does that mean? For us, we recognise that we are living on stolen lands that were never ceded. We believe that it's important to #paytherent in order to move towards true reconciliation. At our next Sydney event, on June 25, we will be hosting a Raffle Draw & proceeds from this will go towards sponsoring a table for First Nations at the Victoria NAIDOC ball (For tickets to this lunch, click the link on bio). ⁠ @bandeshwine_spirits offers you the taste of Freedom, home/homelands, safety, relaxed, connected, cared for, family and friends... and to consider other people in the world who face injustice, who may be suffering and need care, and to fight against cruel policies that harm people. ⁠ Hi!👋🏽to all the allies and co-conspirators. Celebrate #RefugeeWeek with us, buy a ticket to our lunch (link on bio) or book our talented #refugeechefs for an event. You can also buy a #refugeepowered Goody Box to show your appreciation and support.⁠ We're donating $5 from each Goody Box sold until June 25 to the Refugee Advice Casework Service @racsaustralia , they provide free legal assistance to people seeking asylum. #NationalVolunteerWeek wraps up today but I am thankful to the Welcome Merchant volunteers every day. This is Marjorie writing here, the founder and director. We have grown so much these past 2 years and I honestly couldn't have done it without these angels. I was holding down a fulltime job up until February this year and without them, WM would have remained just as an Insta account.⁠ #AusVotes Relief is our overwhelming feeling but we know there's still a lot of work that needs to be done. The @australianlabor needs to do better when it comes to representing diverse communities. The #Fowler electorate voted for Independent Dai Le @daile_inspo, a former refugee, because she understands their issues. #AusVotes⁠
