About Us
Welcome to Doors Wide Open, where compassion meets action in the heart of Bunbury.
At Doors Wide Open, we understand that addiction doesn't just affect individuals; it touches entire families and communities. That's why we're dedicated to providing a beacon of hope and support to those struggling with drug addiction and their loved ones, homelessness, financial hardship and much more.
​
Led by the compassionate hearts of Mish and Chrissy, Doors Wide Open offers a wide range of services aimed at fostering recovery and healing from life itself. From counseling and support groups to practical assistance like free food, clothing, and blankets for families in need, we're here to provide holistic support every step of the way.
Our doors are always open, not just figuratively, but literally. Every week, we cook up a warm meal and invite anyone in the community who hasn't eaten to join us for a nutritious and comforting meal. Because we believe that no one should ever go hungry.
​
But we offer more than just food and shelter. We offer understanding, empathy, and a non-judgmental space where individuals can find the support they need to navigate their journey to recovery and a new life. And we don't do it alone. We rely solely on the generosity of the public and local businesses to keep our doors open and our services running.
At Doors Wide Open, we believe in the power of connection and collaboration. That's why we work tirelessly to connect with other agencies and organizations, forming a network of support that benefits not only our service users but the entire Bunbury community
