The Community Drop-in is a crucial cornerstone service and safety net for vulnerable community members. Our targeted support services evolved from here as we responded to community needs. Committed to creating a welcoming and safe space, we have the privilege of hearing from individuals facing challenges that hinder their well-being. We approach this with utmost sensitivity, recognising and validating their experiences. Our firm belief in a trauma-informed and person-centred approach guides us to earn trust and an invitation to provide information, support, advocacy, and referrals.
Through the generosity of local bakeries, our Cafe Bar is filled with freshly baked pastries and bread daily. Pop in for some hot tea/coffee/hot chocolate and grab a pastry or two.
We are stewards of the generous donations made by the community. Anyone that walks through our doors in need can be provided with material support such as clothing, food and toiletries.
OzHarvest fresh fruit and vegetables delivered to us on Wednesdays for pick up between 11am-1pm. Bookings are essential.
