Toowoomba City Care Inc was established in 1994 to care for the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the city, particularly those who are disadvantaged and disengaged from society.
It was formed with the primary objective to restore lives and to reintegrate disadvantaged people into a contributing place in society through early intervention and prevention programs, social programs and community events. Through programs that equip people to make positive choices, it aims to break the cycle of disadvantage and homelessness and reintegrate them back into the community.
Toowoomba City Care does not receive ongoing government funding and relies on donations and volunteer support from many churches of different denominations, as well as organisations and businesses, to underwrite its current activities.
