COVID-19 Diaries: 24/7 Street Kitchen and Safe Space

Social distancing laws has meant that community support services have had to innovate.

The Sydney 24/7 Street Kitchen and Safe Space are now distributing hot meals and food hampers to homeless people in Martin Place with a specially devised trolley which can be pushed out and retracted, resulting in zero physical contact. This ensures that both volunteers and the homeless remain safe.

Homeless people are some of the most vulnerable to COVID-19. Without a home, they cannot self-isolate. While the government has provided some additional temporary accomodation, many are still without a roof over their head and many still lack the essentials, like food and basic health care.
