A man’s true wealth is in
the good he does in this world.
August 24th – 7th December
Help us feed the homeless and those in need
Christmas is approaching quickly, and we’re reminded of Adelaide’s homeless, the men, women and families doing it tough. Christmas is usually a time for celebration and joy however for many it is full of sadness and struggles. We’re asking our supporters to help us collect 1 can per week for the 15 weeks leading up to Christmas. These canned goods will then be distributed by Cos We Care.
How can you help?
1. Every week when you do your grocery shopping, purchase on extra item. It could be a can, or anything non-perishable, can fruit, veg, fish, meat, rice.
2. Collect one item each week for 15 weeks.
3. Log onto Facebook and join our event as drop off points will be posted.
4. Invite as many of your friends, family, work colleagues as you can.
Drop them off to collection points in December or arrange collection.

How we got Started
Cos We Care Ltd is a not for profit company which gained charity status in Nov 2016.
Cos was founded in June 2015 by Ann and Laura. They wanted to connect with the homeless in Adelaide to show that they cared, so they went directly to the park lands with sandwiches and coffee and distributed breakfast to all.
Since that first tentative Sunday morning, Cos has grown exponentially. We now serve around two hundred every weekend in Adelaide City and Northern Suburbs.
From a humble start with a few theromoses, we now have two refrigerated vans which we use to collect end-of-day items throughout the week, as well as toiletries and clothing. All items are stored according to the highest Health and Safety standards. Fresh fruit & veg are collected on Fridays so they remain crisp and fresh for our weekend distribution.
We have a great team of volunteers – we couldn’t exist without their amazing effort and we’re always happy to welcome more people to the team.
