Winter Shelter

Thanks to the community from Luther College for the wonderful donation of warm clothes for our guests. Special thanks to teacher Matt for organising this generous donation and to Ken for picking it up.

Thank you to everyone who has registered to volunteer with our Maroondah Winter Shelter program over the past few days. We are delighted to share that all shifts for the three-month program have now been filled. Your willingness to step up and support our community is deeply appreciated.

We still need Overnight Shift Volunteers
We are looking for additional volunteers for the overnight shift (10:00 pm – 7:00 am). Having extra volunteers available would allow our overnight teams to take short breaks and get some much-needed rest during the night. If you are available and willing to help, we would love to hear from you. Split shifts are welcome.

Standby Volunteer List
All recently registered volunteers will be added to our Standby List. If any shifts become available or require coverage during the program, we will contact volunteers on this list.

Thank you to those of you offering support.
We have enough clothing and bedding, thank you for your kind offers we don’t need more.
We still need volunteers to cover overnight shifts until 31/8/26. Once per week or fortnight. 10pm-7am or these times can be split.
Please use our website to register.
Thank you again for the many messages offering support.

It is the mission of Winter Shelter to provide shelter, food and honour for people who need shelter, comfort and support.
