As we step into 2026, we want to acknowledge and support the South Australian organisations making a difference in our neighbours’ lives.
This month, we’re shining a light on Hutt St Centre – a local organisation that has supported locals in South Australia at risk of or experiencing homelessness since 1954.

Located just down the road from us, Hutt St Centre works tirelessly year on year with its leaders and 250+ volunteers to provide connection, support, and empower members of the South Australian community to rebuild their lives.
Their services include:
- Pastoral care services
- The Pathways program
- Creative Hub
- Advocacy
- Lifestyle and health services.
The Hutt St Centre Wellbeing Centre welcomes people from all walks of life facing complex issues and serves up to 47,000 meals per year. The centre also provides showers, laundry, lockers and laundry collection for those in need.
Past immediate support, they provide ongoing services including NDIS Support, Physiotherapy, GP Clinic services, and so much more.
The Importance of Helping When You Can
Just last year, Hutt St Centre provided support to 961 new people, which was a 3% increase from the previous year. Now more than ever, it is important to provide support so the centre can continue to help those in our community who need it most.
To assist Hutt St Centre in providing care during hard times this holiday season, Kwasi donated to the centre’s Angel For A Day initiative on behalf of our clients. This donation provides meals on a nominated day for up to 400 people experiencing homelessness.

We encourage our fellow local businesses to join us in giving where they can. If you don’t know where to start, their website offers options for one-time or monthly donations from $39 breakfast & lunch contributions to $283 for 8-week training sessions.
If you would like to get involved with Hutt St Centre in other ways, you can become a partner to help raise awareness and create new opportunities for those at risk of or experiencing homelessness. There are also other donation options on their site, including a list of recommended goods they accept.
They have currently paused their recruitment for new volunteers.
