Supporting One Another Through Challenging Times
We recognise that many in our community are facing increasing difficulties and challenges. In turn, we too have felt the pressure of keeping up with the significant rise in individuals and families needing support—both in the short and long term—throughout the year.
If you are experiencing hardship, please know that support is available. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. We encourage you to reach out—to a trusted person, a local support service, or a professional organisation. There are people who are ready to listen, to walk beside you, and to guide you toward the help you may need.
For a list of support services available in your area, please visit askizzy.org.au.
If you’re struggling with your mental health, the following organisations can offer immediate and compassionate support:
Headspace – Youth mental health and wellbeing
Kids Helpline – Support for children and young people
Beyond Blue – Mental health and wellbeing support
Lifeline – 24/7 crisis support and suicide prevention
And there are many others available to help.
Please remember: it’s okay to not be okay.
We’re here for our community—because we are stronger together.
Stay safe and take care.
– The Northpoint Centre Team
What we do
Northpoint Centre provides over 400 food parcels each week to individuals and families across Melbourne who are experiencing hardship. Since our founding in 2002 by Pastor Loren, we have remained committed to supporting our community with dignity and compassion. Our Head Office is located in Tullamarine, with additional satellite collection sites currently operating in Coburg, Craigieburn, and Goonawarra.
We are incredibly fortunate to be supported by a dedicated team of volunteers who give their time and energy to ensure the smooth and efficient delivery of our services. Their commitment is the backbone of our operations, and we are always open to welcoming new volunteers who would like to join the Northpoint family.
We are equally grateful to our generous food donors and financial supporters. Your contributions make our work possible, and we sincerely thank you for standing with us in supporting those doing it tough.
Northpoint Centre is a registered Not for profit charitable entity.

About our Food Parcels
We provide nutritious food parcels that include water, condiments, canned food, bread, fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy products as well as assorted snacks. Although not all products are available all the time, there is a variety and we strive to cover the main healthy food groups. The food Northpoint Centre provides, and the tools needed to prepare our food parcels, are sourced from our generous supporters. Click on Our Supporters tab to find out who they are, and when you see them, pass on our thanks, for without them this important initiative could not be possible.
Get Involved by Volunteering
We are always looking for volunteers who can commit to voluntarily working at least one day a week.
These opportunities may suit students who are studying and want to gain some practical business experience or people who are looking to support a worthy cause in a regular and meaningful way.
We could certainly use your skills.
