We are receiving a lot of questions about eligibility for our food pantry, so we wanted to clarify.

At Light Country Community Centre, there are no eligibility requirements to access food assistance. You do not need to hold a pension card, concession card, healthcare card, or provide proof of income.

We support individuals, couples, families, seniors, and anyone who may be experiencing a difficult time.

If you need assistance, we welcome you to visit us on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday between 9:00 am and 12:00 pm.

Everyone deserves access to food, and our doors are open to those who need support

Thank you

Light Country Community Centre ran and still runs the newer food pantry ,which is now at 3 Branson cres.,Lyne and Narelle were invited to move with us but decided not to we wish them well with whatever they do in the future.It was necessary for us to move so that again we could be one organisation similar to when we were at UnitingCare,the Council has nothing to do with the running of this organisation but were good enough to give us a place to go when UnitingCare decided to sell their property.If you went to the food relief you would know that in summer it was like an oven an equally cold in winter and the space was very cramped, now we have ʻsecurity with a 3 year lease,we still have friendly people to run our food pantry and we have more nutritious food or ingredients to comply more closely with the current food insecurity a lot of people are facing.Our times changed to 9.00- 12.00 as it was more conducive to school mums drop off.We hope this answers some of your concerns and of course you are welcome to come and see for yourself our new food pantry.It always was and still is the Light Country Community Centres board that fund raise and collect donations to run the food pantry and Open Door.

Did you know that Light Country Community Centre has three important parts that help support our community? 💛

🥫 Food Pantry – Open Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9am to 12pm, providing free food assistance to those who need a helping hand.

🍽️ Open Door Community Lunch – Open every Friday from 11:30am to 1:30pm, where everyone is welcome to come along, enjoy a delicious two-course meal, and connect with others in a warm and friendly environment.

🎉 Fundraising & Community Support – Behind the scenes, a small but dedicated group of volunteers work hard to keep these services running. Our funding comes through fundraising efforts, local community grants, and the generosity of organisations and individuals who donate food and support our programs.

Without this incredible support, Light Country Community Centre would not be able to continue helping those in need within our community. Every donation, every volunteer hour, and every act of kindness makes a difference.

We would like to sincerely thank everyone who supports us – your generosity helps us continue to be here for our community.

Why not pop in and say hello? Join us for lunch at Open Door on Fridays or come and see what we’re all about. We’d love to welcome you. 💛

🖊️ New Service Available
Starting Monday 2nd June, we are pleased to offer a Justice of the Peace service, available Mondays only from 10:30am to 12:00pm. This service will provide additional support and convenience for our local community.

We look forward to continuing to grow and support our community together.
