Foodsupport

What is it?

Foodsupport aims to assist those who access it to save some $ so these dollars can be used on other expenses such as bills etc.

The Foodsupport program is made possible by donations from our local Aldi and IGS stores plus local farmers that are picked up by a team of volunteers. It is primarily fresh fruit and vegetables. Quantities vary based on donations received.

The food is packed and people who have been booked into get this support from GBNC’s Emergency Relief staff person, turn up on the appointed day and time to pick up a box of food.  This does mean that there is no choice about what is in the box given to each person.

Who?

Any person who is experiencing hardship, including backpackers.

GBNC can help through its additional support programs.

How does it work?

Staff at GBNC will give you a voucher to give to Foodsupport volunteers and book you into the next session where you can pick up your food box.   There are limits on how many times a person/family can access Foodsupport boxes per financial year.

When?

The Foodsupport program is held on Thursday mornings from 10 to 11am (doors close at 11am) on a booked-in basis.  Note: failure to pick-up food box may result in you no longer being able to access Foodsupport.

To access our Foodsupport Program, you will need a referral from our Emergency Relief Program.
