Food Care (Shellharbour City Community Church)

Fair food volunteer opportunities Low cost & free meals

Free morning tea and low cost groceries (fruit, veg, bread & other items) on Thu at 10:00am - 1:00pm and Fri 10:00am - 12:00pm. 

FoodCare is an initiative of Shellharbour Community Church that seeks to provide an affordable grocery solution for families in our community. FoodCare offers a range of quality groceries for a fraction of the retail price to anyone holding a pension or low-income card, thanks to our generous supporters. Since FoodCare was pioneered in 2009 thousands of families in our community have been blessed through lower cost groceries and emergency relief food packs.

We love meeting new customers! Every Thursday and Friday we provide free morning tea and a place to connect with people as you get your groceries. We operate on a system where food is valued by ‘points’ which allows you to select the amount of and variety of groceries you need. We also offer free bakery, fruit and veg items when you purchase other grocery items to a value of 5 points or more.

We would love to be in touch! Call the church for any questions or follow us on Facebook to stay up to date with what’s happening.
