ABOUT US
The Salvation Army is a Christian movement and one of Australia's largest and most-loved charities. We believe in doing good that transforms lives and futures for the better. It is this belief which drives us to find new ways and places where we can make a difference. From times of personal crisis to moments of national grief, we are always here — providing support, safety, community, and opportunity.
Our community meal is held each Friday Morning at 11:30am-12:30pm. It is a warm and welcoming space that meets the needs of our community, providing a nutritious meal, and a space for people to gather and connect.
Working within a commercial kitchen facility, our V- Cook, plays a key role in supporting our community by providing consistent, reliable and most importantly, nourishing meals at our weekly Community Meal in a safe, welcoming place.
