How we help
Welcome to Darebin Information, Volunteer & Resource Service – DIVRS!
We are all about you. We are a FREE organisation that is building a stronger community. DIVRS is run by trained Community Service Workers and volunteers just like you. We work with you to solve problems and help you achieve your goals. We listen to you, and what we talk about stays private.
DIVRS also has a strong focus on making food available and avoiding waste. Our Urban Food team are leaders in helping people grow and share food locally.
So if you live, work or study in the Darebin area, we welcome you and look forward to working with you.
Support
Just like the rest of us, you might be finding things are getting hard lately. Many people are looking for a friendly helping hand right now. Help with food, paying bills, easing money pains. Maybe there are other issues in your life.
You are not alone. You can take action by contacting us and talking to one of our Community Support Workers. We can sit down and have a chat at our Preston hub or talk over the phone.
Volunteer
DIVRS is powered by volunteers. We need you to help us do what we do. From providing emergency food relief to teaching people to drive, growing fresh veg and picking fruit in your neighbourhood. Maybe you have a way with money or a passion to advocate that will be a valuable service to people.
Volunteering fills a need for helping others, building work skills, getting out of the house, connecting with new people. And making a positive impact in our special corner of the world.
