Sydney CBD Community Care Van
The Order of Malta Community Care Van volunteers visit locations around Sydney CBD frequented by the homeless to distribute essential items to the homeless . The activity runs year round and items distributed include hygiene packs and seasonal items (Coats for the Homeless and socks in winter and water and sun protection items in summer).
Volunteers meet at St Vincent’s hospital in Darlinghurst and drive the van to locations where they undertake the distribution and interact with the people they serve. Locations include, but are not limited to; Woolloomooloo (near Matt Talbot Hostel), Central Station and Martin Place.
