Honey Money
1. Did You Know?
- The Honey Money project at GWUC has been donating funds for Uniting Church asylum seeker programs for many years. Thank you for your ongoing participation.
We purchase our delicious pure Australian honey at wholesale price from Archibald's Honey, a family owned business since 1920. Due to their longstanding support, we have been able to maintain prices lower than the supermarkets.
- One 27kg bucket of honey is bottled into 65 sterilised reusable glass jars, labelled and priced, in our church kitchen about every 3 months. We can increase this as needed.
- The honey box is beside the kitchen servery. Just choose the jar/s you wish to buy, place your cash into the plastic bag provided and post the bag in the church letterbox or drop it into the office.
All proceeds from our honey sales are donated to the Uniting Church Asylum Seeker Welcome Centre (ASWC) to support individuals and families with a range of food security, social, advocacy, health, IT, English language and educational needs.
Have you thought about using a jar of our lovely HONEY as a birthday present or as a gift to a neighbour or dinner host? Maybe you’d just like it on your toast!
During the last 5 years, we have been privileged to donate over $3000 to this cause. Thank you so much. Please return your honey bottles to the servery bench and remove labels if possible.

2. December 2024 update
We transferred $900 to the Asylum Seeker Welcome Centre (Uniting) account. We were going to do this anyway, but it will be helpful for their current appeal following the fire at the premises.
