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.

Volunteer Roles:

Volunteers serve tea and coffee in the café area of each centre.

Current HR license is required for Mobile Pantry (Food for Life bus)

Ability:
Both light and heavy lifting may be involved. Jobs are allocated according to physical ability and personal interest.
