Mullumbimby Uniting Church Food Box have commenced their 13th year of operations, distributing nutritious food to those in need every Thursday, from 9.30am till 11.30am.
Co-ordinator Gill Lomath told The Echo that people still think they need to have a welfare card to use the service.
Gill says, ‘This has not been the case for a number of years. Just before Covid, Food Box removed this requirement’.
‘We now work in conjunction with the Mullumbimby District Neighbourhood Centre Gulganii Pantry on different days – ours being Thursday’.
The Gulganii Pantry, which also offers low-cost pantry food and grocery items, is located at 3 Bridgland Lane, between Mullum Hire and Kiva Spa in the bright yellow building. They are open Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 10am to 12.30pm, and 1.30pm to 3pm.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
