Tuggeranong Uniting Church provides emergency food hampers to help out those in our community who are going through tough times.
The hampers provide enough food for two days. This allows us to assist those in emergency situations, or those experiencing unexpected hardships, until they can access longer term support options. Our church has been able to assist many people in the community throughout the years.
In addition to providing foodbank hampers we also keep a supply of toiletries on hand to offer to those who come to our church for assistance.
We offer Foodbank hamper collection on Wednesdays. If you require food assistance please attend the church on:
Tuesday mornings, between 9:30am and 11:30am
