The St Vincent de Paul Society has made a call out to western suburbs residents for volunteers at a new soup van based in Melton.
The charity organisation is planning to establish a soup van in the Melton area to provide a regular evening meal service.
The soup van program would operate at fixed locations and times, helping people experiencing disadvantage and homelessness in the area.
Volunteers will work from a Vinnies vehicle to collect donated items, prepare food and deliver food, as well as provide friendship to those in need.
According to the organisation, the volunteer program is suited for those who have a passion for helping individuals experiencing disadvantage, giving back to the local community and engaging with a diverse range of people.
The program requires volunteers to be over the age of 18.
To register interest and availability for becoming a volunteer, email soupvans@svdp-vic.org.au.
