The good folks at the Whitsunday Neighbourhood Centre would like to remind all the locals that they're here to help those in need. If you are struggling to afford enough food to feed your family, you can go to the Centre and find out what pantry packs are available.
Partnering with Coles and Woolworths, the Centre has been able to put together bargain grocery options. The packs include items such as cereal, rice, pasta, milk, juice, canned foodstuffs, snacks, and bread to help bulk out your pantry with shelf staples. For specific dietary requirements, there are vegetarian, gluten, and lactose-free pack options available too.
These packs retail for $60, but the Neighbourhood Centre is giving them out for the low price of $15. Every $15 raised by purchasing one of these grocery packs goes straight back into the program to source more packs for other locals in crisis. Packs vary on grocery availability and donations, so it's different every time. It’s a great way to try out new recipes with the ingredients you get and spice up family mealtimes.
The Centre also runs a local fruit and vegetable distribution service for anyone who has bumper crops or plentiful harvests. If you have excess and want to give back to the community, you can donate your stock to the Neighbourhood centre.
The $15 pantry program is open to all. It is not means-tested, just subject to grocery availability, so anyone can apply to have a pack for their family. Get in touch today by filling out an online form, calling at 07 4946 7850, or visiting at 14-20 Hazelwood Crescent, in Cannonvale.
