Volunteers in the Essendon Unit of the Victoria State Emergency Service have been protecting Moonee Valley and surrounding communities since 1981. ​
We receive basic funding and support from the Victorian Government, but we rely on donations and grant funding to allow us to:​

• purchase and maintain essential Unit-funded rescue vehicles​:
• purchase and repair equipment that we use​
• maintain our buildings and facilities, and fund minor upgrades​
• support our community engagement activities
• ensure that we have appropriate facilities for our volunteers

All donations made to the Essendon Unit will be retained and used by the volunteers in Moonee Valley to continue building our capability to support our community in times of need.
