❤️ WEDNESDAY NIGHT FEEDING THE HOMELESS WITH PENTECOST CARE ❤️

Wednesday evenings are always a pleasure as we join Kate, Andrew and the wonderful Pentecost Care team for their regular weekly food service, supporting those experiencing homelessness in Melbourne's C*D.

Tonight, Hands Hearts Hope brought along a hearty meal of roast chicken, steamed vegetables, creamy mashed potato and gravy to share with everyone. ❤️

It's always lovely to catch up with familiar faces, share a conversation and work alongside such a dedicated and caring team.

We're grateful for the opportunity to support Kate, Andrew and the Pentecost Care volunteers each week. It's partnerships like these that make such a difference to the people we all care so deeply about.

Together, we're making sure no one feels forgotten. ❤️

❤️ A LITTLE GOOD IN EVERY GLASS – THE POWER OF GIVING BACK! 🍷❤️

We are absolutely delighted to announce a wonderful new partnership with Organic Hill Wines!

At Hands Hearts Hope Inc., we believe that some of the most incredible things happen when businesses and communities come together with a shared desire to make a difference.

And that’s exactly what Organic Hill Wines is doing! ❤️

Through their generous “A Little Good, In Every Glass” initiative, Organic Hill Wines is donating $50 from every specially priced $249 dozen purchased directly to Hands Hearts Hope Inc.

That’s $50 helping us put food on the table, provide clothing, essential supplies and a little comfort to people experiencing homelessness and families doing it tough across Melbourne.

What makes this initiative so special is that it’s about more than purchasing a beautiful selection of wines. It’s about choosing to support a business that genuinely cares about giving back to the community.

To the wonderful team at Organic Hill Wines, THANK YOU! ❤️

Thank you for choosing Hands Hearts Hope as your charity partner, for believing in the work we do, and for recognising that together, we can make a real difference in the lives of people who need a helping hand.

🍷 LOVE A GOOD W**E? WHY NOT MAKE YOUR NEXT DOZEN ONE THAT GIVES BACK?

Purchase a specially selected dozen for $249, and $50 will be donated directly to Hands Hearts Hope Inc.

Simply scan the QR code on the flyer to order and support this wonderful initiative.

Because sometimes, making a difference can be as simple as choosing to support a business with a heart. ❤️

Thank you, Organic Hill Wines, for showing us the true power of community.

❤️ Together, we’re making a difference — one act of kindness at a time.

❤️ MELBOURNE CUP DAY – FOOD RESCUE DOESN'T TAKE A HOLIDAY! ❤️

While much of Melbourne was enjoying the Melbourne Cup public holiday, food still needed to be rescued and delivered to those who need it.

Tuesday saw us out collecting fresh food and making deliveries to the Food Is Free pantry in Ringwood East, as well as distributing more food to residents in the high-rise housing flats.

We also managed to put together several food hampers and deliver them to individuals and families needing a little extra support.

For many individuals and families already struggling with the rising cost of living, public holidays don't make those challenges disappear.

It's wonderful to be able to keep good food moving from where it's no longer needed to where it can make a real difference.

Because hunger doesn't take a public holiday, and neither does kindness. ❤️

❤️ MONDAY FOOD RESCUE – FITZROY HIGH-RISE COMMUNITY ❤️

Monday was another busy day of food rescue and deliveries for Hands Hearts Hope!

We headed out to three of the Fitzroy housing high-rise blocks with approximately 40 crates of rescued food, including fresh bread, pastries, pizza breads, fruit and vegetables.

Crates and crates of food that might otherwise have gone to waste, instead making their way into the homes of individuals and families who can put it to good use.

It's really rewarding to be able to support individuals and families who are struggling with the rising cost of living, helping to ease some of the pressure by putting fresh food on their tables.

❤️ Rescuing Food • Supporting Communities • Sharing Hope

❤️If you would like us to deliver to your street food pantry or high rise estate please message us to go on our delivery list❤️

❤️ MONDAY NIGHT STREET OUTREACH C*D – AND WELCOMING NEW FACES TO THE TEAM❤️

Monday night was a big night on the streets of Melbourne, with some new faces joining our Hands Hearts Hope team!

We were delighted to welcome Manuel, our newest volunteer, and Ashley, our second RMIT student joining us for placement this year.

After saying goodbye to Bilbo last week, who completed his placement with us, it was lovely to welcome Ashley and continue providing students with the opportunity to experience firsthand the realities of homelessness and community outreach.

Suzan also joined us for the evening as we headed out with a big urn of homemade vegetable soup, fresh bread rolls and plenty of hot coffee.

It was lovely catching up with our regulars, meeting some new faces on the streets, handing out sleeping bags and warm jackets, and most importantly, taking the time to sit, listen and have a chat.

Sometimes it's not just about the food, clothing or supplies we bring. It's about taking the time to connect, sharing a conversation and reminding people that they haven't been forgotten.
No one should have to sit on cold concrete all night, we need a place for our homeless to go after hours.
let’s get together and do something?

A big thank you to Suzan, Manuel and Ashley for being part of the evening. ❤️

❤️ SUNDAY NIGHT AT VIC MARKET – COMING TOGETHER FOR OUR COMMUNITY! ❤️

What a fantastic evening at Victoria Market on Sunday!

Our Hands Hearts Hope team, myself, Suzan, Geoff, and Robynne joined Raj from Feed Melbourne Mission for a barbecue, serving approximately 100 people experiencing homelessness and hardship.

And it wasn't just a barbecue! We also served up delicious roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes, stir-fried mixed vegetables, freshly steamed vegetables, and grilled capsicum and onions and cold drinks. To finish off, there was a lovely selection of sweet treats, pastries, Danishes and cakes for dessert. Plenty of delicious food for everyone to enjoy!

It was wonderful catching up with so many familiar faces, our regulars, and the other outreach services who come along to the market to support those doing it tough.

One of the things we truly value is the opportunity to work alongside other community organisations, supporting one another and sharing the same goal of making life a little easier for those who need us.

❤️ A very special mention to Aunty Jane, who jumped straight onto the serving line and helped hand out meals! It was such a pleasure having you join us and be part of the team for the afternoon.

A huge thank you to Raj and everyone involved. It's always a pleasure working together, sharing a few laughs, catching up with our community and making sure no one goes away hungry.

❤️ TWO DAYS, TWO MASSIVE PANTRY REFILLS IN RINGWOOD❤️

What a huge weekend of food rescue for Hands Hearts Hope Inc.!

Saturday and Sunday saw us collecting enormous amounts of rescued food, and we were absolutely thrilled to be able to completely restock the Food Is Free Ringwood East pantry TWICE over the weekend! 🥰

Both deliveries were massive, with an incredible variety of fresh fruit, vegetables, bread, groceries and sweet treats for the community to enjoy.

With so many individuals and families struggling with food insecurity and the rising cost of living, it means so much to us to be able to share this abundance with the Ringwood East community.

There's something incredibly rewarding about knowing that food which might otherwise have gone to waste is instead helping put meals on tables and easing the pressure on families doing it tough.

❤️ Two days, two huge deliveries, and lots of food shared with a community that needs it.

❤️Special thanks to Suzan for giving up her Saturday afternoon and evening to help with the deliveries and sorting hampers. Your awesome ❤️
