"When you’re going through homelessness, you don’t have anything. You have nothing. For me, without Social Bite I don’t know where I’d be.

Christmas is amazing at Social Bite. Last year, I went to the Social Bite Christmas Eve food service. There was lots of food. Lots of drinks, tea, coffee. 
You know, Christmas is a time where everyone is getting presents. Receiving gifts from Social Bite at Christmas, it feels like getting gifts from my family. My own family are far away, but when I come to Social Bite it feels like home."
