How you can help

Sponsor us, donate or fundraise.

Your support makes a difference

We do all that we can with what we have for whoever comes through our doors. But to do that, we need your support. Soul Hub is non-government funded, and we rely on the generosity of Newcastle individuals, families, businesses and community groups to carry out our work – work that offers a compassionate community response to some deep community needs.

There are so many ways to get involved, from being a major sponsor to making a cash donation or becoming an active participant in one of our fundraising events. Many of our sponsor families support Soul by making in-kind contributions or by fundraising for us. No matter how much or how little time or cash you have, we hope you can find some way to help.

Make a donation

Your generosity will meet real needs and help vulnerable people.

Grocery Donations

There are many practical ways to help Soul Hub. 100% of the food Soul receives has been rescued or donated by the community. Our kitchen and pantry supplies are determined by the availability of rescued and donated goods at that time. You can help ensure that our guests receive the best quality meals we can produce by supporting our pantry and donating bulk items from the list below.

Milk

The following is an appreciation paragraph for milk, yes…. milk.

The unsung hero of Soul Hub. The crucial ingredient that features in over 80% of our dishes – and our guests love it. We need it to make them coffee, their cereal, their deserts and most of their main meals. It is essential to our operations.

Milk (preferably long-life milk) is one of the most practical and helpful ways people can support Soul Hub.

So, when you’re next walking down the aisle at the shops and see some long-life milk, consider picking one up for Soul and when you drop it off, we’d be more than happy to use a bit to make you a coffee and show you around.
