Transit Soup Kitchen & Food Support is a community-based organisation in Narre Warren dedicated to providing food, care, and connection to those most vulnerable across the City of Casey and surrounding suburbs.
Each week, Transit supports up to 1,700 people from all walks of life, faiths and backgrounds. We do this through freshly prepared meals, free groceries, and a welcoming space where everyone is treated with dignity. Guests include families, single parents, refugees, people experiencing homelessness, women and children fleeing domestic violence, and others facing hardship due to the rising cost of living, housing stress, or crisis.
Beyond food relief, Transit delivers an integrated “Beyond the Meal” model that brings essential wrap-around services directly onsite. In partnership with organisations such as Monash Health, Peninsula Community Legal, Centrelink, and NDIS providers, guests can access free health care, legal support, housing advice, and pathways to employment, all on site.
Run almost entirely by volunteers, Transit’s 145-strong team embodies compassion in action. Our organisation is powered by local partnerships, churches, schools, and businesses who share a vision of building a stronger, more connected community where no one is left behind.
We are auspiced by Narre Warren Christian Church Inc Welfare Fund.
