Re-connecting families or finding out the fate of loved ones torn apart by war or disaster lets people get on with their lives. A hot meal for someone living rough means making a connection when it seems no one else is there to help.

Australian Red Cross Goldfields delivers Community Programs. These include Soup Patrol and Good Start Breakfast Club. Soup Patrol delivers soup 3 nights/week to homeless and displaced individuals. Within a year 9300 serves of soup and bread (2000 being to children) are given out by volunteers. Fruit is also distributed when able. This program is not externally funded and costs $38000 to operate throughout the year. With a large number of our clients being local Indigenous and also Indigenous groups from out of town, it would be unfortunate to the community to have this service cease as this is sometimes the staple meal for the individual on the day.
Soup Patrol allows volunteers to assist clients to connect with other services, we have gifted blankets during the Soup Patrol, toiletries and other items when able.
