Children from the Acacia Room took great pride in presenting the canvases to cafe coordinator Julie Greig on Thursday morning.
"Our aim at the shelter is to make it as welcoming as possible," Ms Greig said.
"To have the children's artwork here, it's a wonderful contribution and addition to the cafe.
"This is a community project and it's great to have so many groups involved."
The cafe is preparing to serve its final meal of the year on Sunday, November 1, after several months of providing meals to people in need over the winter.
Ms Greig said the cafe has been an overwhelming success this year, despite the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.
"Whatever we're doing, it's been a success because so many people have given their time and donated money and goods," she said.
"We want to say thank you to everyone for making it a success."
The USS cafe operates from 12-2pm Thursday to Sunday in the shelter rooms at the back of the Uniting Church on William Street.
It offers guests a hot meal and something to drink, change of clothing and a sleeping bag if needed.
The cafe is run by 26 community volunteers and 15 first-year paramedic students from Charles Sturt University.
The children from Scallywags are hoping their artwork can add a smile to the faces of people who visit the USS cafe.
