URGENT HELP REQUIRED – DONATIONS NEEDED – PLEASE SHARE

We need your urgent help. As you know, Sikh Volunteers Australia has experienced a significant increase in demand for our services over the last little while. We provide free food to the disadvantaged. To those that need a meal and are doing it tough.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, we’ve provide over 180,000 free meals to the doorsteps of community members in 41 suburbs. In time of need, we are there for those that need us more than ever. It’s what we do best. Help those in times of crisis.

However, we can’t keep up with the demand. We are currently significantly limited by the current kitchen facility that we have. It is just too small to extend our operations and help those that need us in this pandemic and beyond.

Since 2017, we’ve rented community kitchens and have been supported by like-minded organisations that let us use their kitchen facility. Still, a permanent own kitchen facility is a must to keep the scale of operations SVA is running. 

​​​​​​​

We’ve been able to secure a parcel of land and are now desperate to build our own commercial kitchen. It would be magical. It would allow us to cook approximately 10,000 meals a day make and will enable us to cover almost all of Victoria regardless of the landscape and resources available in the area. 

We have done all the planning and all the work to make this happen. We just need the funds. It is essential that we can meet the cries for help when they come our way. The current lockdown we are in at the moment has again shown the desperate need for our services.

We have the team, we have the volunteers and the network we just desperately need a bigger space to prepare more meals. It brings us so much joy to be able to deliver a meal to those less fortunate. 

We need to raise $600,000. We’ve scoped it all out in terms of what it would entail. It would bring food security, moral support and community bonding to those doing it tough. There is nothing more pleasing than seeing some hungry receive one of our parcels.

It’s a big amount but would be game changing for our organisation

Just $5 from each and every one of you would get us to our goal. It’s the cost of your next cup of coffee but one that will help us provide more vital meals to those doing it tough.

If you could please also write the word DONE below after you have donated that would be great, and please remember to share this post far and wide.

We need you more than ever.
