People sleeping rough are vulnerable and at an increased risk during extreme weather events.
When the SA Govt calls a Code Red or Code Blue, Baptist Care SA responds by opening the doors of the WestCare Church to anyone experiencing homelessness.
We provide a safe place to sleep overnight, a sleeping bag to keep, nutritious meals, hot showers, laundry facilities and connection with further support.
By remaining open overnight, Baptist Care SA offers kindness and connection to those who are most vulnerable in our community.
Each weekday morning, we open our doors and invite our neighbours from all walks of life to come together and enjoy delicious healthy food in the company of others. Our community breakfasts are prepared by our chef and a team of volunteers with food that has been donated or purchased with donated funds and provided free to our community.
On weekdays other than Wednesdays, lunches are $2.50. The low cost is consistent with our view that providing our community with the dignity of choice offers a hand up rather than a handout.
Baptist Care SA provides the WestCare Health Service so our community can have equal access to free, culturally safe and trauma-informed care.
