people accessed Specialist Homelessness Services (SHS) in Victoria in 2020-21. However, every day 133 requests went unmet.

Testimonials

I cannot tell you how grateful, appreciative, relived and honoured I am for all your care, support and help... Sometimes on the weekend you are the only people I see... I am very humbled and touched by all your care. It reminds me I live in a community... Thank you for shining a light into my life.

What I love most about volunteering are the conversations - whether it’s chatting with guests at Soul Kitchen or connecting with fellow volunteers. I’ve found that committing to a regular time, like the first or second Sunday each month, makes it easier to stay involved. Making that space in my schedule helps me show up consistently and be part of something meaningful.

I’m so thankful for the warm winter woollens and the bag of essential items I received from 300 Blankets. I especially needed the warm socks and bathrobe. I can’t thank you enough for the kindness and support — it truly means so much.

My favourite part about Soul Kitchen is the friendly people — they’re always nice. I’ve met some great new folks, like this lovely young lady. The food is beautiful too — I love it!

I like that Soul Kitchen helps people who are in need. The pumpkin soup is my favourite! I always look forward to coming - my friends come here too.
