Monetary Donations
Get in touch with us if you’d like to make a cash donation. We rely on your generous support to make our work possible and we channel your donations straight towards those in need.
contribute items
We can distribute any items you have to spare, though we typically welcome food (of any sort fresh, pantry, bakery, dairy, etc.) and toiletries. All items are gratefully received and are put to good use.
Volunteer
We rely on amazing volunteers to help us distribute items in the mornings. We’d love for you to come down and join us on either of our mornings.
We also raise money with BBQs every Monday at Bunnings Munno Para – extra hands are always welcome! Drop us a line if you have any questions, or just come and join us for a cuppa and a chat.
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.
