Our Kitchen
What started as Sunday community meal to help those feeling lonely over 30 years ago, St Canice’s Kitchen has now transformed into a daily service providing support to men and women experiencing homelessness and social exclusion. No longer just a soup kitchen, we are a place of connection for those who have no permanent address. Somewhere for people to come together, connect and find the support they need.
Situated close to Kings Cross and nestled amongst the jacarandas our Kitchen is open 6 days per week. Opening the Café at 9am followed by a hot lunch service at 11am for a shared meal and conversation. Over 300 volunteers are rostered across these days giving their energy and experience to create home cooked meals that make our little piece of Sydney feel like home.
We also operate weekly health, legal and employment clinics, daily showers with access to toiletries and personal care items and new clothing, supplied by our partner Thread Together.
We have never stopped looking to the future and now, even more so. The St Canices Kitchen Redevelopment project aims to update our facilities to better meet the growing demands for our services.
By transforming the kitchen we will increase our capacity to serve over 300 guests daily and integrate essential support services that can significantly change lives . For more details on the redevelopment project click here.
