Evening Community Meal Service Volunteer

Volunteer with Carevan Blacktown – Make a Difference!

We’re seeking volunteers to support our Tuesday evening meal service at Lalor Park, helping people facing homelessness, poverty, isolation, and other social challenges.

No special skills are needed—just a warm heart, a smile, and a few spare hours each month. Volunteers help with tasks like setting up tables, unpacking food, serving meals, packing hampers, and cleaning up. You’ll be part of a team rostered once every four weeks, with occasional extra events like Bunnings BBQs and food drives.

If you're 18+ and want to make a real impact in your community, we’d love to welcome you to the Carevan Blacktown family.
