Soul Kitchen

Combatting food insecurity and social isolation among communities in the west.

A hearty 3-course dinner with friends every Sunday

Soul Kitchen is a free community, run every Sunday evening
in Braybrook.

Established in the community in 2018, Soul Kitchen has grown to be an important pillar of the Maribyrnong community. Operated by a dedicated team of volunteers who not only prepare an amazingly nutritious meal, but who also share this meal with those who may be struggling to make ends meet, or who are feeling socially isolated. Prepared in the kitchen of Braybrook Community Hub from 6.45pm each Sunday, these nights are not only about providing food but are also an opportunity for members of the community to connect with others in a safe and respectful environment; all are welcome.

While at Soul Kitchen, diners can also access monthly haircuts, regular Orange Sky Laundry services, and the Thread Together clothing program. Material aid – including blankets, clothing and toiletries – is also available for those in need.

Testimonials

My favourite part about Soul Kitchen is the socialising and the meals — the food is always yum! I’ve only been a couple of times, but it’s always great. I’ve even met new people here, like this gentleman next to me.

My favourite part about Soul Kitchen is the people. The food is always good, and I’ve met quite a few new faces since coming here.

Soul Kitchen Guest

The people at Soul Kitchen are so nice. We come for the dinner, and the food is always great. I especially love the pasta, vegetables, and mashed potatoes! Soul Kitchen helps me every week by taking the worry out of Sunday dinner.
