Can I bring food onto shift for our friends?
No food or drinks are to be brought to shift by Orange Sky volunteers.
Supplying food and beverages for our friends on the street is a breach of our boundary box and our code of conduct. Violating this policy can put fellow volunteers and service users at risk by creating an unreasonable precedent for shifts elsewhere.
Creating a consistent shift environment for all our shifts across Australia reflects the actual experiences of many friends who might attend shift at different times through the week, or even in different cities!
We know it can be hard seeing our friends struggling but we partner with other amazing organisations on shift, many of whom provide food and drinks or can direct our friends to somewhere where food and drink is available. If there is nothing available at your shift location, refer to Ask Izzy to assist our friends to find somewhere local where they can access meals.
