300 Blankets is a not for profit charity who provides support to people experiencing homelessness. In Victoria, more than 25,000 people are currently homeless and, after food and water, blankets are their most sought after item. We are a 100% volunteer organisation that aims to provide support through three key areas: blankets, homeless outreach, and localised food programs.

• Blankets: We are the biggest donors of blankets for the local soup vans and we also provide blankets for a wide range of charities and not for profits providing support for people experiencing homelessness.
• Homelessness Outreach Program: We operate a twice weekly volunteer outreach program in the heart of Melbourne connecting with people sleeping rough and provide material aid.  
• Soul Kitchen: We operate two location based food programs in the northern and western suburbs of Melbourne every Sunday night to address food insecurity and social isolation.

Established in 2012, we have been making strides towards supporting existing homeless services, assisting people who are homeless for the first time to reach appropriate services, and creating positive relationships with people who are entrenched in homelessness so they can find the strength to improve their livelihood.
