Heading Back to Melbourne from Taree (NSW)
Day 8—our final day of service in Taree, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. Over the past seven days, Sikh Volunteers Australia has had the honour of serving warm meals to the flood-affected communities across the Mid Coast.
Please consider donating to our fundraiser so we can continue serving communities in need—and do it even better.
URGENT HELP REQUIRED – Donations Needed
The Sikh Volunteers Australia (SVA) team is committed to providing hot, fresh meals to communities during times of crisis. While our current food truck allows us to cook on-site, we are facing growing challenges with storage and logistics—especially during large-scale disasters.
To meet the increasing demand and ensure faster, more efficient service delivery, we are planning to prepare a new logistics truck. This vehicle will be dedicated to transporting essential supplies, storing ingredients, and supporting our cooking operations during emergencies.
Standing Together, Serving with Love – NSW Flood Relief
Sikh Volunteers Australia has arrived in Taree, NSW, after a 1,500 km journey to support flood-affected communities. With mobile kitchens, they’re serving hot meals and essential aid. The team urgently needs grocery donations or financial contributions to continue this selfless service. Every act of kindness helps. Contact: 0497 325 010.
