Food Assistance
Why Food Assistance Matters
Many community members face food insecurity due to financial hardship, unexpected life events, or rising living costs. At Sydney CCI, we believe everyone deserves access to healthy, nutritious food. Food isn’t just sustenance — it’s dignity, stability, and hope.
What We Offer
Here are the ways Sydney CCI helps with food support:
Support For People In Need
Supporting individuals and families facing financial hardship, those temporarily struggling to afford groceries, and vulnerable community members.
Emergency Food Parcels / Hampers
For people and families in urgent need, we provide food parcels containing essential non-perishable items, fresh produce, and basics to get through periods of hardship.
Food Pantries
Supporting local low-cost food pantries where members of the community can choose groceries at minimal or no cost, ensuring dignity and choice.
Fundraising & Community Drives
Initiatives that raise funds and collect food donations to sustain and expand our support programs.
How To Get Involved
Donate food
Donate non-perishable items, fresh produce, and groceries for our supporting food banks.
Volunteer or partner
Help pack hampers or run pantry services. If you’re an organisation that can help (food supply, logistics, distribution etc.), we want to collaborate!
Donate funds
Take action today and give securely online. Donations of $2 or more are tax-deductable.
Changing Lives For The Better
We’re thrilled to continue supporting our community through our weekly food relief program, partnering with schools, nursing homes, corrective services, and rehab centers.
Special thanks to our volunteers, and to our main sponsors, Second Bite Org and ABW Foods for their ongoing generosity and weekly donations. Your support enables us to reach a large number of our community members and help us serve the most vulnerable members of our community.
