Centre of Hope
We aim for our centre to be a place where HOPE is shared.
Enjoy tea and coffee, grab a bite to eat and have a chat with our friendly staff and other community members. Our drop-in centre is open three times a week to provide food, free Wi-Fi and access to showers and washing facilities.
We aim for our centre to be a positive, safe and non-threatening environment where people can come and build healthy connections with others while having access to a range of support services delivered by The Salvation Army and our many other partner agencies.
Food and food hampers

Free bread is available in the main foyer on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.
Our community cafe is open during the drop-in centre hours to provide coffee, hot beverages and a light meal.
Contact us if you need assistance on other days.
Free Wi-Fi
