Each year, we provide over 50,000 free and nutritious meals to people experiencing homelessness.

Food brings everyone together and people experience feeling part of a community. By sharing a table and a meal, people get to have conversations and experience companionship.  This simple act can connect people and be the first step towards long term solutions that change lives.  Baptist Care SA’s WestCare Kitchen is completely funded thanks to the generosity of our kind donors. 

Open for breakfast and lunch 

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 free 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 that offers a hand up rather than a handout.

Lunches on Wednesdays are free. Our kitchen is open between 9am and 1pm, Monday to Friday. 

Acknowledgement of Country

Baptist Care SA acknowledges we work on the lands of the Kaurna, Peramangk and Boandik people. We respect the ongoing skilful custodianship of lands, skies and waters and the continuous deep cultural connection with Country. We pay respect to Elders and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from all Countries, Nations and Mobs.

Ngadlu tampinthi Kaurna miyurna yaitya yarta-mathanya Wama. Tarntanyaku, ngadluku piipawarpulayi kuu Kaurna yartangka tikanthi.

(We acknowledge the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains as the traditional owners of the land on which our office sits.)

Ngathu putama nhu mraat, mraat Boandikat wulnuwitjara Berrinat ba mraatat mingru Berrin (I recognise this country (is) the country of the Boandik, the custodians of Mt Gambier and the country around Mt Gambier.)
