Margate Community Food Pantry

A community service to help people in need have access to low priced or free food and grocery items. Food and grocery donations from the community are welcome.

The Margate Community Food Pantry is a community service which started on Wednesday the 19th of June. The purpose of the service is to provide access to low priced and some free groceries to ensure food security for people and families in need. The Food Pantry operates on the not-for-profit principle and is run by volunteers. We source most of our food and groceries from Foodbank Tasmania in bulk at low cost and make the items available by only charging a low handling fee so we can cover our costs of running the service. The service will be operating out of the Margate Seventh-day Adventist church hall at 17 Crescent Drive every Wednesday between 10.30 am and 12.00 noon.
