As we face an increase in demand for essential support for people experiencing homelessness, The Living Room is seeking volunteers to assist with a critical task. packing and transporting essential material donations. We've been fortunate to receive an overwhelming amount of generous donations from a partner, but we need help getting them to those who need it most.

What's involved

As a volunteer, you'll be responsible for:

• Sorting through clothes to find what would be most appropriate for our clients at The Living Room this summer.
• Packing these clothes into boxes at our partner's warehouse.
• Transporting these boxes directly to The Living Room to ensure they reach those in need. Please note: you must have access to a car or van!

Flexible Hours, Big Impact

Volunteer hours are flexible but must align with the schedules of our donation partner and The Living Room's operating hours. Whether you can spare a few hours, dedicate a whole day, or come back and help regularly, your time will directly support those experiencing homelessness in Melbourne.

How to Get Involved

If you're ready to make a real difference this summer, here's how you can help:

• Sign up to Volunteer: Send us an email letting us know your availability to help.
• Complete the boring (but essential) paperwork:  You'll need to fill out some basic paperwork, complete a short induction and provide us with a police check and Working With Children Check (WWCC)
• Get a Few Friends on Board: Volunteering with a group maximises your impact, so invite your friends, family or colleagues to join you
• Start Making a Difference: Once inducted and cleared, you'll be part of the life-changing team that transports and delivers much-needed aid to our clients

Can't Donate Money or Material Aid? Donate Your Time Instead

If you're unable to contribute financially or through material donations this year, volunteering your time is a fantastic way to help. This is a powerful opportunity to support those in need while bringing a team together for a good cause. Every hour contributes to meaningful change for our clients.
