Food For Families. Thanks to you.
Food For Families is a way to come together with your community to donate food and help deliver real support to families doing it tough.
Food For Families
Fill a box. Create real support for families doing it tough.
Your donated box or bag filled with non-perishable food, like canned soup, pasta and baked beans, plus household essentials such as personal hygiene and cleaning products, helps feed and support families when it’s needed most.
At Uniting, we work in partnership with local people, schools, early learning centres, workplaces and community groups to deliver real, practical change in our communities.
By working together to keep our emergency relief pantries stocked with a variety of food and essentials, we’re able to offer more people dignity, choice and support when times are tough and bills keep rising.
Every item, every box, every bag — it all adds up to creating meaningful change, together.
