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.

Cos We Care is a not-for-profit Limited company with charity status with the ACNC (from Nov 2016).
