Society of St Vincent de Paul Response Centre - Ballarat
This service is dependant on parish-based groups of volunteers who respond to calls for assistance from people in need in their local community hence not all areas maybe serviced. There is very little or no government funding for this service. Volunteers visit people in their own homes and help to find the most appropriate response to the person's or family's needs. This involves being a supportive listener and may include providing food or food vouchers, clothing, furniture, budget support, assistance with utility bills or back to school costs, information and advocacy. Volunteers meet on a regular basis and work closely with St Vincent de Paul Society's Vinnies Centres assistance. Volunteers also engage in activities such as visiting people in aged residential care, in prisons and provide assistance to Migrants and Refugees, Family Support, Overseas Development and Soup Vans. All services are about offering friendship and establishing relationships with people in need.

Hello ,
I'm in a really bad situation atm . I recently had to move because my dad who I was caring for 10 years had to go into aged care .
I had nowhere to go with my dog and luckily someone I barely know let me rent a room off him in Powelltown, Vic .
I don't drive and it's an 18km walk just to get to a bus stop that is still Ages away from most things .
My centerlink has been cut off because I couldnt attend a job provider appointment due to it being so far and I haven't had any food for 5 days now.
There is a local food relief place that gives Me a few fresh vegetables every Friday but they didn't come today and it's only a few fruit and veg which is not very nourishing on an empty stomach . They only come on Fridays when they can .
Can you guys please
