About the Food Pantry

Food Pantry volunteers provide crisis care to the community through fresh & non-perishable food, toiletries, and nappies for the last ten years.

The Food Pantry team has created an environment where clients are respected, valued, accepted, and cared for during their time of need.

As well as the practical support they provide, the team thinks about how they can brighten the lives of those they serve emotionally. Their dedication is demonstrated by providing a comfortable waiting space, ensuring privacy, and supporting specific dietary requirements. The volunteers show their exceptional service and commitment to those going through financial hardship in our community daily.
