Reaching Out In The Inner West Of Melbourne

Who we are

We are a spiritual group established in 2005 and provide home-cooked vegetarian meals, snack packs, non-alcoholic beverages, non-perishable food items, clothing, toiletries, blankets, pillows, sleeping bags and so much more to people who are struggling or experiencing homelessness.

Meeting at Footscray Mall every Monday from 5:30pm our hard working volunteers aim to provide a selfless foodbank service to anyone who is in need.

Reaching Out In The Inner West Of Melbourne believes in treating everyone with respect, love, compassion, and non-judgement.

Our Community Foodbank Services

Fighting Hunger in the Inner West

Food insecurity can affect anyone. As a leading foodbank in the Inner West of Melbourne, we bridge the gap for individuals and families who are doing it tough. Unlike larger organisations that may have long wait times, our Monday night service in Footscray provides immediate, barrier-free access to fresh meals and pantry staples.

What We Provide:
Hot Meals: Nutritious, home-cooked vegetarian dinners served weekly.

Food Parcels: Non-perishable pantry items, bread, and fresh produce.

Essentials: Toiletries, warm clothing, and sleeping bags.

We believe that access to food is a basic human right. If you need help, or if you are looking to support a local foodbank that makes a valuable impact on the streets of Melbourne, Reaching Out is here for you.
