These sessions provide an opportunity for lonely folk to connect with each other and to make use of the services we provide, including Centrelink staff, Housing and Mental Health agencies, Hairdressers, Shower trailer and Orange Sky Washing van.
In addition we provide food support for families. Clothing, household goods, help with removals and direct financial help in emergency situations is also provided
Transit works hard to be inclusive. To that end we have a large variety of backgrounds involved in volunteering and we encourage those who come as guests to transition to volunteering. Guests are encouraged to develop social connections and to care for one another.

We cannot do without them.
