Our warm, welcoming Dining Hall is where hundreds of people who are experiencing homelessness and social disadvantage come to share a community meal and engage with our services, 365 days a year. Everyone is welcome to drop in for a free meal today.

Sustained by the community
It takes a professional kitchen staff of four and a team of 15 volunteers to prepare breakfast and lunch each day. Our valued volunteer pool is made up of individuals, community groups, school students, teachers and people from the corporate sector.
With limited funds, our work is supplemented by generous food donations from farmers, catering companies, local bakeries, cafes and restaurants and food rescue agencies. Over many years, Sacred Heart Mission has developed strong relationships with many food donors and we rely on a steady supply of stock.
