Community Pantry

Located on the external wall of the Port Broughton Op Shop on Edmund Street of Port Broughton, this project has been developed by local community members and churches, with strong support from the Council.

The Pantry is stocked with food and essential items donated by community members, providing critical support for those facing food insecurity.

Those in need are welcome to take what they require from the pantry, but we kindly ask that they only take what they need to help as many people as possible.

For those interested in contributing, donations of cereal, long-life milk, tuna, school snacks, canned foods (including beans, spaghetti, meals), pasta and pasta sauce, tinned fruit and vegetables, and toiletries (including unopened personal hygiene and sanitary products and toilet paper) are greatly appreciated.

Donations can be placed directly into the pantry or brought to the Council office.
