Providing a Lifeline for Connection, Community, and Empowerment in Geelong.

More Than a Meal.

The Outpost abides by a “no questions asked”, non-judgemental policy and is the ONLY non-referral after hours service feeding those in need seven nights and three lunches a week in the City of Greater Geelong.

At The Outpost, We empower individuals by offering vital resources, knowledge, and support to access nutritious food relief services and essential necessities. Located in central Geelong, we create a welcoming, safe space where guests find not just nourishment but also community and connection, especially in times of uncertainty.

Every person is seen, heard, valued, and supported. We are a community that says, "You’ve got this, and together, we’ve got you”.

Creating positive change in the lives of those who turn to us.

With nourishing meals and a welcoming atmosphere, we provide hot, nutritious food, drinks, and even pet food. Beyond meals, we stand by our guests, offering essential support through material aid like clothing, hygiene products, blankets, pharmacy vouchers, and a mobile charging point, while fostering connection and community.

Join us in making a difference within the Geelong community.

Contribute your time and create a welcoming space where everyone feels supported and valued. By volunteering with us, you offer kindness and connection to individuals who need it most. If volunteering isn’t an option for you, financial and physical donations are vital to our mission. Businesses can also make a difference by volunteering as a team or organising donation drives.

Our core values are in community support and food relief.

  • Valuing and celebrating our awesome people, knowing their every contribution makes our community strong.

  • Delivering yummy food with a deep understanding of the holistic comfort it provides.

  • Creating a homely space, where everyone feels supported, heard, seen, valued and safe.
