FOOD FOR LIFE

Food for Life is a not for profit program partnering with the local churches that provide groceries to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. The shop offers a range of groceries such as bread, milk, canned goods, frozen items, fruits and veggies and in some areas is located in a building, and in others a bus. Clients donate $10 for a bag of groceries. Associated with the shop is a small café that offers free morning tea, conversation, and friendship. This program is growing in both size and numerically. We currently have 3 operational centers in Casuarina on Thursday, Ludmilla on Friday and Bachelor on alternate Fridays, with others still in the planning stage.
