About Urban Seed
Urban Seed is an ecumenical Christian, not for profit agency that is committed to engaging faith, community and culture. Urban Seed combines street work in the heart of Melbourne with education programs and a strong independent voice on urban, business, social and political issues including homelessness, drug addiction, problem gambling and poverty.
The work of Urban Seed grows out of the life of a residential community in the centre of the city, made up of people of diverse expertise and life experience who volunteer their time and energy to the people and place of Melbourne's CBD.
Urban Seed's street work is centred on Credo café, the venue for Urban Seed's open lunch program. Between 50 and 90 people attend this open lunch each day. The Open Lunches began with people who lived in the building sharing a meal in their home with people they met on the city's streets. As far as possible, we retain this informal ethos in Credo Café.
The lunch program informs most of the other activities undertaken by Urban Seed including a range of innovative education programs for secondary schools, church groups and business and community groups.
