Spring Food Drive

Be the reason someone has a meal tomorrow…

Help restock our Emergency Relief pantries and provide assistance to those who need it the most!

On Thursday 3rd & Friday 4th September from 10:00am - 6:00pm, representatives from City Mission and local Lions Clubs will be outside select supermarkets taking donations of non-perishable items (food, toiletries, cleaning supplies, etc).

If you are shopping at any of the participating supermarkets on these days, come say hi, and give what you can! Every donation, big or small makes a difference in restocking our shelves.

Beyond the 3rd & 4th, donations can be dropped off at 48 Frederick Street Launceston, 55 Mount Street Burnie, or any of our Mission Shops and Resale Centres. 

Want to really make a difference? Rally your family, friends, church, workplace, or team, and run your very own Food Drive!
