Halal Food Bank Melbourne is a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers and relies heavily on community donations. Our mission is to provide halal, nutritionally sound food on a monthly basis to individuals and families experiencing financial hardship, domestic or family violence, crisis situations, as well as to refugees and people seeking asylum.

To sign up as a volunteer, please complete the registration form. A callout message will be sent in our Volunteer Announcement Group on WhatsApp about a week before each packing session.

Our packing days are held on the first Sunday of every month in Campbellfield.
