Food services
Access to food is a human right, and no one should be forced to go hungry. We're here to help.
How does Vinnies help?
Vinnies offers food hampers or supermarket vouchers (plus referrals to Foodbank where available) to help see you through the tough times.
You can also access a hot meal at a Vinnies Fred’s Van meal service, in 10 locations across SA.

Fred's Van Meal Service
The Vinnies Fred's Van meal service provides all kinds of nourishment - not just food!
Our volunteers help break through the barriers of loneliness and isolation that many people experiencing poverty and/or homelessness feel. We can provide a meal, blankets, toiletries, snacks, hot beverages and most importantly, companionship. As a result, Vinnies has helped foster genuine communities of friends from all walks of life.
Everyone is welcome at a Fred's Van service.
