VOLUNTEER - 300 BLANKETS Homeless Support Outreach MELB CBD

Important note - this is a small group activity starting at Flinders St so if over 5 people are interested it may have to split groups in to separate dates. I will speak to organisers and set dates based on interest so this is another one to best put your hand up for and we will roster out dates in Sept. It runs weekly all year round so you can choose to go once or regularly as suits

SMALL GROUP ACTIVITY - up to 5 participants per date as I understand it

The Outreach Program runs every Tuesday and Thursday (7pm-8.30pm) in the CBD, where a group - of 4-5 people - led by one of our dedicated Outreach Leaders directly engages with people sleeping rough in Melbourne's CBD. Through conversation and providing emergency material and food aid, volunteers are able to provide support to people when they are generally in their greatest need of social and material assistance. It lasts 1.5 hours. There may be some pre packing work required, Will update once organisers confirm.

Departing Flinders Street Station, groups of up to 6 volunteers with a 300 Blankets team leader walk a particular route through Melbourne’s CBD, sharing essentials and checking in with people living on the street.
