The Winsome is a not for profit organisation operated by volunteers.
For over twenty years, people from all walks of life, cultures, and careers come to serve the marginalised and homeless people of the Lismore area by giving of their time, resources, and commitment as a volunteer with the Lismore Soup Kitchen.
We help move people from disadvantage (of various kinds) to something better that is sustainable and stable.
The Winsome provides meals and accomodation for at risk people, and helps refer people with various social (medical, counselling and welfare) needs to other organisations who are more suited to help in these situations.
