It was the only Indigenous Conference in Australia. At present it is recess. Hundreds of families have been helped with vouchers for clothing, furniture and household items since the Conference began two years ago and we hope that it may be able to be re-started this year. We operate a daily food distribution that covers the metropolitan area of Adelaide. It involves the delivery of food to families in urgent situations.
Volunteers collect food from bakeries and shops and deliver it to families each day.
On average 35 - 40 families are helped each week through this service. More than 2,000 families have received food from this Centre in the past 12 months. The Otherway Centre is a place which many different Indigenous people know and love. They speak of this Centre as being a safe and welcoming place for everyone, a holy place, a special place for our people. In the past year we have had involvement in one way or another with 1,000's of different families, individuals, young people and prisoners.
