Every year The Basement provides thousands of meals and hundreds of hampers to homeless people in the Toowoomba Community. Operation Shopping Trolley is an initiative aimed to involve individuals, local schools, community groups and businesses to collect non perishable items that can be used in the soup kitchen or for a homeless hamper (please remember that most homeless people don't have access to a kitchen or can opener).

Donations can be dropped off between 9AM - 2PM, weekdays to 9 Thomas Street, Toowoomba.
