Please Note: Despite the situation with COVID-19 in Australia, we are now, more than ever, in need of volunteers to ensure we can continue to deliver meals to the most vulnerable in our community. We are following advice from the health authorities and all volunteers and staff are following our standard food safety procedures, good hand hygiene and as an extra precaution are using hand sanitising gel between each home they visit. We have also asked our volunteers to practise social distancing recommendations (where possible) when delivering meals. So, if you would like to know more about this opportunity, please continue to read on below and express your interest by hitting the 'Apply' button at the bottom of the page.

Drivers are needed for a Food Service that delivers almost 500 nutritious meals every week, to vulnerable or isolated residents in the Liverpool LGA. Although delivery of prepared meals is the basis of the Service, it is more than just a meal.
