Food support for City of Yarra residents

We are open on Mondays from 9.30 am to 12 noon. No appointment is needed. Please bring proof of your City of Yarra address and, if possible, your own shopping bags or shopping cart.

We offer pantry items, bread, milk, fresh fruit and vegetables, toiletries, personal care products, nappies, baby care products and pet food. Where possible, we tailor food parcels to your household size, cooking facilities, cultural needs and dietary requirements.

At the Food Centre you will be offered a selection of food. We can often swap items to meet your requirements.

For enquiries, call or text 0493 104 144.
