Our promise to you

Without your loyal support, we couldn’t do what we do.

Lazarus Community Centre Geelong relies on our great team, mostly volunteers, and the kind donations from our community to help those in our community who need it most. It is our promise to keep doing everything we can to provide a supportive environment at Lazarus Community Centre.

Make the pledge

We are community. We are Geelong.

Founded in 2015, the Lazarus Community Centre formed a partnership with SalvoConnect Barwon.

With a lot of community support through working bees to prepare the old Geelong Gaol and garden areas, the centre launched in 2017.

Unfortunately, homelessness is a problem in the Barwon Region but with the community, we are providing much-needed support and facilities to people in need.

Join us in providing a safe and welcoming centre for all.
