Membership and Access
To access the Community Pantry, a current membership is required. For just $3.00 per person annually, members gain access to affordable groceries, helping us cover essential costs like rent and power.
It's important to keep your membership current, as entry may be refused without it.
Understanding Our Products
Some items in the pantry may be close to or past their best-before dates. In Australia, pantry food items are generally safe to consume up to six months beyond these dates.
By becoming a member, you acknowledge and accept these conditions, ensuring that you understand the freshness of the products.
