College faith and mission director John Riddle said 7100 people had received help since the van started four years ago.
It operates on Tuesdays from 5pm to 7pm, but Mr Riddle said it would expand to Thursdays next year.
“We’re hoping to be able to open up the invitation to the public to volunteer next year,” he added.
Donations of non perishable food can be made to John Paul College, 161 McMahons Rd, Frankston
