Our Programmes / community food pack

Reliable support,
every month.

Through the Community Food Pack programme, donors contribute essential groceries that are packed and distributed monthly with the help of volunteers, ensuring that no family, senior or individual with special needs, goes without reliable food support.

Who receives
Community Food Packs?

The programme supports families working hard to make ends meet, seniors living alone, and individuals with special needs. Many live on a monthly household income per capita below $800.

Every month, more than 10,000 households receive food packs, giving them a steady supply of rice, canned goods, and nutritious staples. For some, it means children eat breakfast before school. For others, it means seniors do not skip meals at the end of the month.

highlights of Community Food Pack

Canberra division is so grateful for the monthly Community Food Pack distribution. It has given the grassroots organisation and the volunteers a great boost of confidence in our mission to care for the community, especially to the households that find it challenging to put food on their table. Together, we care. Thank you FFTH!
