RISE: Refugees Survivors and Ex-Detainees

RISE acknowledges that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the original owners and custodians of the land that we live and work on.

The RISE Food Bank provides free dry food, fruits and vegetables for asylum seekers and refugees at the RISE Drop-In Centre every Friday. It aims to meet the dietary needs of people in community detention and those who are not receiving any support or social assistance from the government due to their visa status. If you would like to donate non-perishable food items, please email please email admin@riserefugee.org or call us at 03 9639 8623.
