About
Noel's Social Services (NSS), was founded by Kishani Wijekoon and Stefano Sarkies, in memory of Ms. Noelene Bartholomeusz; grand mother to Kishani, and was established to address the acute disparity in the lower socio demographics of Melbourne's south eastern regions.
After spending some time with 'Joey's Van' as chief coordinator cum chairman; Stefano had noticed there was a growing demand for the need to provide more meals in the 'Greater Dandenong' region.
So in 2011, NSS commenced serving a warm and hearty three course meal to people from all walks of life. Meals were initially served at 'The Cornerstone Contact Centre' on the corner of Walker and Mason Streets in Dandenong, but now being served from 'The Baptist Church' on 25-27 James Street, Dandenong.
A family owned and operated initiative, NSS has since been operating with the help of it's valued volunteers who are employees of the 'Australian Taxation Office' (ATO), The Telegraph, St. Johns Secondary College, Mannix College and partners like '2nd Bite', 'FareShare', 'The Cornerstone Contact Centre' and 'The Baptist Church'.
