It has served Christmas lunches in Gloucester for a long time.
But this year will be the last time homelessness charity Gear Project holds its annual lunch in its current form.
Daycare services at the centre will end on January 3 as a result of funding cuts.
It will soon be just an administrative base to provide support for the healthcare team, the outreach service and the dry houses.
The Vaughan Centre in Southgate Street is open years round and has seen more than 400 people through its doors in April this year.
But things started going downhill at the start of last year, with the night shelter closing.
More than 100 people turn up every year to share in the music, steaming warm food and hearty laughs.
Michael Marshall, from Gloucester, was a former client turned volunteer. Helping out everyday of the week has helped keep him out of trouble.
He said: "This is my first year since I've kept clean. It's incredible, and really good to see so many people here today. It's quite a lot I think, but it's the last one s well.
"I get to do this everyday, and Gear has been important for a lot of people, hasn't it. I'm really enjoying it today, but sad to see it close."
The numerous services Gear provides have provide invaluable to those sleeping rough.
Breakfast is provided most morning, with queues lining up even before it opens its doors.
Bathroom and toilet facilities are also available, while experts help people to get access to their benefits and accommodation.
A medical clinic with two doctors and a nurse is run by the centre, together with dryhouses where people can help kick their drink or drug habits.
Support worker Skye Beddington said: "It's going to be really difficult. I can't imagine anything worse, seeing all of them on the streets on Christmas day.
"I think a lot of people don't realise homelessness is a big problem in Gloucester. The fact you see so many people here, it really will be a shame to lose the centre."
But they managed a final cheer today, with laughs all round.
