Daily Food Services
Down to Earth provides healthy, nourishing meals for those experiencing homelessness or those who are vulnerable within communities across Ipswich, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Each food service is unique. Meals vary from sausage sizzles to pasta, and variation is often dependent on the food donations received from our valued business partners (e.g. Ipswich City Council and Woolworths).
During celebratory times of the year and special occasions, Down to Earth finds great pleasure in celebrating with the community it has created. The past Christmas, Down to Earth had the capacity to put on two events with one in collaboration with several other community partners. While sentimental occasions like Christmas can be uplifting for some, they can also be isolating for those who are vulnerable and lack a strong support network, which is why Down to Earth feels it’s even more important to provide regular services during these times.
Our food Services times are impacted by weather events and conditions out of our hands, for up to date information, refer to our social media.

Down to Earth seeks to connect with every person in need of assistance. Volunteers consistently engage with and befriend those attending food services who are either homeless or vulnerable.
Connecting and personalising with those who attend our meal services allows us to identify who may need more specialised assistance and refer them to professional services.
Furthermore, personalising with those attending meal services allows volunteers to be referred to others outside of the Down to Earth community who may need help. This allows Down to Earth to identify and directly provide clothing, food supplies and other essential items to as many people possible.
