Hot Meals
Every week we provide a delicious hot meal and dessert for over 150 people in need in our city. During this meal we provide hot showers, washing of clothes, haircuts and we give out veggies, fruit and bread – all for free!
SHORT TERM EMERGENCY RELIEF FOR LONG TERM CHANGE
We recognise it is nearly impossible to look for a job or a house, when you are hungry, cold and on the streets. So we aim to meet our guests immediate needs of food, clothing and shelter, and this frees them up to be able to focus on getting healthy, finding a job, house and re-connecting with their family.
Food Hampers
Every Friday we give away around 145 emergency food hampers to homeless and struggling families for free, feeding over 600 people. Each hamper is full of vegetables and fruit, frozen meals, meat, bread and pantry staples that provide enough food for a family for around 3-4 days.
Clothing & Shelter
There are over 130 people sleeping rough in Rockingham and Kwinana at any given time. Every Friday our guests can choose up to six items of clothing, shoes, tents, sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, toiletries and homeless packs to ensure they stay dry and warm while we link them to securing better accomodation.
Soup Patrol
S.O.U.L. Soup Patrol started on 25th September, 2008 and has been serving our community ever since. Today we serve approximately 40-80 people every Sunday. We go to 6 different stops in the Rockingham area. The meals served are nourishing and wholesome and our volunteers serve it with a friendly face.
Family restored back together after being homeless
““Hello guys, we would like to say a big thank you for all the support and everything that Ris (one of our amazing volunteers) and the Crew did for me and my family and how much you helped us with food and good furniture and even now that we aren’t homeless anymore, you guys still come to the party with helping us with our family needs and we appreciate it big time. Thank you so much Ris for everything you have done. We love you guys, thank you””
