Getting a food parcel
It takes about twenty minutes and you do not need a referral the first time. Come as you are; we will not ask you to prove anything at the door.
1
Talk to us
Drop in, call (555) 014-2200 or ask your doctor, school or support worker to refer you. Any of these works.
2
Come to the pantry
A volunteer sits down with you, asks about allergies and who is at home, and shows you what is on the shelves.
3
Take home three days of food
Choose your food and toiletries. If you would like, we can also book you in with free money advice.
Opening times: Monday to Saturday, 10:00–13:00 (sample).
Help a neighbour this winter
Every gift is spent in Hillside, on the things on our ladder. A monthly gift lets us plan the shelves ahead.
