How can I get help?
If you are in urgent need of assistance, please reach out to us using the details on our Contact page.
We will get back to you as soon as possible to discuss how we can best help.
Please note we specialise in providing emergency goods such as staple pantry items and toiletries as part of our grocery hampers.
We unfortunately cannot provide fuel vouchers, assist with bill payments or provide any other form of cash assistance.
We also do not have the capacity to help with immigration or visa issues.
Can I still volunteer or access your services if I'm not Sikh?
Yes! While Turbans 4 Australia is led by members of the Sikh community, we are commited to providing assistance to all Australians in need regardless of their race, religion or ethnicity.
A core tenet of the Sikh faith is acceptance of religious diversity. We therefore do not proselytise or attempt to “convert” any of our volunteers or clients.
Our volunteers come from a diverse range of backgrounds. We don’t care where you were born, which languages you speak or what religion you practice (or if you don’t practice at all). As long as your willing to lend a helping hand, you’re welcome to join our team.
