Want a Reminder?
Add the ASRC Food Drive to my Calendar
The ASRC’s annual Festive Food Drive is on again this year, and the impact of your support has never been felt more widely.
With the increase in the cost of living and people seeking asylum relying on the ASRC Foodbank, we are calling on our community of compassion to help us put food on the table for approximately 1,200 people each month, who have no safety net and no other means of support in Australia.
Where: ASRC Car Park for drop-offs- opposite 46 Albert St, Footscray 3011
When: 10AM – 2PM on Sunday, December 3rd.
We do please ask that you ONLY bring foods from the list below
