How your donations help
Bulli Community Centre Food Pantry Program
The Community Food Pantry supports people experiencing food crises with non-perishables, fresh produce, bread, frozen meals and other essential items.
The Service relies on the generosity of SecondBite and OZ Harvest, volunteers and the goodwill of local businesses and the community for food donations to continue supporting the
- 70 to 80 families who visit the pantry each week
- local schools with fresh fruit for the Crunch and Sip School Program for youth without fruit or a healthy snack.
- outreach food pantry around Wollongong and north of Wollongong, including but not limited to postcodes; 2515, 2516, 2517, 2518 2519 in the northern suburbs.
“I cannot begin to express the positive impact this program has had on me & my family. Thank you so much to those helping and for your kindness”
“The Food Pantry Program has helped my family in hard times and we’re forever grateful. Thank you.”
The Program not only provides food for the neediest but also enhances community engagement after the social isolation of COVID-19. The program is building confidence and trust; in a safe welcoming environment for vulnerable members of the community who are in danger of needing welfare checks and/or falling through the cracks; by providing advocacy and support to better deal with their issues
We could not continue the provision of this service without our volunteers who also attend the community pantry and want to give back. They collect food donations; provide home welfare visits/support, visits to single parents, disabled or people with medical conditions or those who are socially isolated.
Thank you for your donation support!
