Providing food relief to around 50 people a day, Mooroopna Education and Activity Centre (MEAC) delivers an indispensable service to the community, assisting families and individuals in navigating the ongoing challenges of cost-of-living pressures and food insecurity.

Grateful for the immeasurable support and supplies from Foodshare, MEAC is calling on community members to consider donating much-needed produce—particularly fresh fruit and vegetables from home gardens—as well as essential staples for the centre’s supermarket-style pantry, which allows individuals and families to select what they need.

This service operates at the centre from Tuesday through to Thursday. While these are the preferred days for donations and visits, community members in need are welcome to come in anytime to access essentials.

MEAC deeply values the continued support it receives from Foodshare, but contributions from the wider community, especially fresh produce, make a significant difference.

“We do not judge anyone who comes through our doors. Everyone is welcome, and we understand that needs come in many forms. If you’re in a position to help, or if you know someone who is, please consider donating to MEAC,” said Jan Phillips, MEAC Manager.
