The Crossing Drop In Centre Inc.
The Crossing Drop In Centre Inc. is a nonprofit organisation based in Drouin, Victoria, Australia. Established in 1992, it operates as a volunteer-run community service focused on food relief, social support, and Christian outreach.
History
The organisation began in rented premises near the Drouin railway overpass, earning its name from the location. Initially open weekdays from 10 am to 4 pm, it provided free tea, coffee, and light meals. After multiple relocations, the Centre settled in its current premises at 134a Princes Way in 2002 following a community-led refurbishment effort[4].
Operations
Operating three days a week (Wednesday to Friday, 10 am–3 pm), the Centre functions as:
- A drop-in café: Offering low-cost meals and frozen takeaway food.
- Food relief hub: Distributing parcels with fresh produce and bread to those in need[5].
- Community bookshop: Selling Christian literature, cards, and gifts.
- Social services connector: Referencing visitors to emergency accommodation and allied support agencies[5].
Mission and Programs
The Centre aims to "share God’s love" by creating a welcoming space for social connection and practical assistance. Key initiatives include vocational training for Work for the Dole participants[5], Bible study programs, and fundraisers for Indonesian orphanages through handicraft sales[5].
Governance
As a registered charity (ABN: 39745356023), it is managed by volunteers from the Combined Churches of Drouin. Reduced operating hours since 2023 reflect ongoing volunteer shortages[1].
