Wauchope Neighbourhood Centre

Food Connect - Every Monday​

​WNC - Boy Scout Hall - 10.30am to 12.00pm
Picture

​Food Connect offers free rescued food to those experiencing hardship or disadvantage to ensure no-one goes without a meal. Everyone is welcome.

Come and enjoy a bacon and egg roll for breakfast while waiting for Food Connect to start and have a chat to our friendly staff and volunteers.

We ask for a gold coin donation on entry if you have it, but it is not necessary.

Be sure to bring your own carry bags to pack your food.

Where Does Our Food Come From?

Oz Harvest 

How it Works

Oz Harvest collects: All perishable food / frozen food (including dairy, fish and meat, fresh juice) which is on or before its ‘use by date’ as long as it is still fit for human consumption; all non-perishable food even if it is up to 3 months past its ‘best before date’.

Oz Harvest cater for the most vulnerable in the community and follow strict food safety standards. Their drivers are trained to spot hazards and are instructed to refuse any items they find unsafe.

By rescuing quality excess food, they are not only reducing waste and disposal costs, but greatly assisting people in need in your community!
