Community Assist
Community Assist exists to meet the real, everyday needs of people experiencing hardship. Whether due to rising living costs, unexpected challenges, or a period of instability, we offer non-judgmental, respectful support. Each week, our team prepares and distributes food hampers filled with practical pantry items. Where possible, we personalise assistance based on dietary needs or family situations.
Beyond practical help, Community Assist is a doorway to connection. We aim to listen, offer encouragement, and, where appropriate, link people to other community services for ongoing support.
If you're finding it hard to make ends meet, or know someone who is, this program exists to lend a hand and offer hope during tough times.
