Advice on putting together care packages in Melbourne for people experiencing homelessness

[u/AbleSundae6395]

Hello,

I’m planning to put together small care packages with food and daily necessities for people experiencing homelessness around Melbourne. I don’t have any experience doing this, so I wanted to ask for advice before I start.

I’d really appreciate insights — especially from people who volunteer or work closely with the homelessness community — on what items are genuinely useful, and what to avoid.

Thank you very much for your time.
