Food options page – Emergency Food Assistance information, Adelaide.
Need Food Help?
On this page you will find some useful information including links to various services in and around Adelaide. As our main two focusses are on helping with Homelessness and Food Insecurity below are the details of all the different free food places around the south of Adelaide. If we have missed any, please contact us and let us know! 🙂
We are listing these agencies at the top as there is no requirement for a Concession Card or Identification to arrive. At these places there may be some free food, free hampers and very cheap food items – but we encourage you to check in with them on facebook if you can, or give them a ring so you can check for yourself their opening hours. More detailed information will be uploaded soon, as our site is currently in development.
