Donate grocery items
We’re always needing to replenish our supplies of dry goods, drinks and hygiene items. Groceries can be delivered to us at our service on Sundays between 3:30pm and 4pm, or delivered to our drop off point during the week.
What can you donate to us?
Groceries
We love donations of groceries - think items with long expiry dates like muesli bars, tuna, tinned (rip top) food, noodle cups, biscuits and sweet treats.
Hygiene items like deodorant, combs, tissues, toothbrushes and toothpaste, period products, socks and wet wipes are key to giving our Mates dignity.
Drinks
We welcome donations of all non-alcoholic drinks - juice boxes, cans of soft drink, or water bottles.
Hot Meals + Fresh Food
We provide to 300-400 individually packed freshly prepared meals each Sunday.
Pastas, casseroles, rice & stirfry, you name it - if it fits neatly in a takeaway container we’d love to hand it out.
Our Mates also love fresh fruit & vegetables that can be eaten as is, desserts and savoury items.
Arrange drop off or delivery
Groceries can be delivered to us at our weekly food service at Prince Alfred Park on Sundays between 3:30pm and 4pm, or delivered to our drop off point during the week. Email us at P4M@plates4mates.org.au for drop off point details.
