Teneriffe Lions Pantry

19/08/2026

Much like Odysseus on his way home, after our official relaunch a fortnight ago, we went on a diverting journey, so to catch you up on some things that have happened:

1. The Village Voice Brisbane gave us the space to do a nice write up in their latest issue.

2. Donation bins were placed in the electorate offices of Cr Vicki Howard and MLA Grace Grace MP.

3. At their last dinner meeting, many items of food were donated by the Teneriffe Lions Club to the pantry via New Farm Neighbourhood Centre.

4. NFNC started distributing foods!

Donations by the public are very much welcome, you can drop off shelf stable, in date food at Cr Howard's or MP Grace's electorate offices and directly at the NFNC during their respective opening hours, and via getting in touch with the Teneriffe Lions via their email, page, or here. If you can spare a sweet treat (shelf stable remember) it will not be turned away either!
I just need to donate these hashtags here for better discovery:

Signal boost!

The old Brunswick Street Pantry has been reborn as a partnership with the New Farm Neighbourhood Centre as the Teneriffe Lions Pantry . Caring locals with some spare money to help can now donate goods towards the pantry and people can request assistance for at the NFNC.

The Teneriffe Lions Club have set up donation bins at offices where you can drop your donations off. You too, can be as happy as the gentleman holding the yellow bin*!

The Big Details:
->Non-perishable foods and toiletries is the name of the game. Generally if you can buy it on a shelf it's good to go.
->The drop off locations are the electorate offices of Cr Vicki Howard and Grace Grace MP, and the NFNC during their respective opening hours; or you can contact us via DM or email to schedule a pick up. (Apologies for not tagging, Facebook is... Being Facebook)
->It's now handled by the staff at the NFNC to disperse during their opening hours.
->If you have capacity for a donation bin, we're open to having a chat.

*Obtaining a warm inner glow from helping people is not a guaranteed result of helping your fellow human, we're just saying it helps.

Exciting news … the closed Brunswick Street Pantry has now reopened down the road as “Teneriffe Lions Pantry”. Teneriffe Lions Club is partnering with New Farm Neighbourhood Centre to support their Food and Toiletries Relief Program. Items donated by the public will be distributed to those in need by NFNC staff.
Members of this generous community are invited to resume their non-perishable grocery donations, which can be made at NFNC or at the offices of Vicki Howard and Grace Grace MP.

Please be advised that the Brunswick Street Pantry has been removed. Teneriffe Lions Club is currently investigating alternative arrangements to help those in food need.
Drop us a note if you can suggest alternative locations. 😮‍💨

Thanks Teneriffe Lions Club for your ongoing support.

When dining at Grill'd Emporium this month, make sure you drop your token into our jar. Proceeds raised will go to buying groceries for Brunswick Street Pantry.

Congratulations to Naya and Beckett for their weekend Lemonade Stand. They beat their record and made over $650 for the Brunswick Street Pantry.

What a great recipe for Community Service: mix a few Teneriffe Lions Club lemons with a proactive family, and serve to a generous community. Well done all involved. 🍋 🍋 🍋
