Southside Food Pantry
This is an initiative of one of our Directors Michael Reid and his wife Rita. They and other volunteers collect surplus food each Wednesday from 2 local supermarkets and make it available free to those in need in the local Canberra community. It is held outside in the suburb of Kambah each week – at 21 Jenke Circuit (Opposite Kambah Medical Centre).
A community of regular attenders has developed and Michael and Rita and our wonderful volunteers enjoy the opportunity to lend an ear and provide support to all who come, over a free cuppa & biscuits.
Any leftover bread is taken to Companion House for distribution to their clients in need. Surplus bread is also distributed to several local schools for their students, and to a Karralika Residential Program.
Elm Grove Sanctuary Trust is pleased to support this community outreach.
