Food and Hygiene
According to the Foodbank Hunger Report (2022), more than half a million Australians are struggling to put food on the table on any given day. While this demonstrates a significant need, it can be hard to know where to look for groceries or a hot meal.
For constantly updated information on free food, as well as doctors, hairdressers, showers and laundromats, you can access the homelessness journal link in this section for extensive locations and days across Adelaide and South Australia where access to services occurs.
