Food is collected from bins marked “FOOD FOR ALL” in local supermarkets. Local schools and churches also support Food for All by running food drives.
An average of 100 food parcels are packed by around 20 eager volunteers every Thursday morning in at our Distribution Centre in the grounds of Our Lady of Fatima Church in Rosebud. Most parcels contain a packet of cereal, pasta, pasta sauce, long life milk, tea, biscuits, tinned fruit, soup, tinned meals, tinned vegetables, jam, rice cream, rice, etc.
The food parcels are distributed by members of the local Conferences of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. These are given to struggling families and individuals within our community. Food parcels are also distributed by Southern Peninsula Community Support in Rosebud.
