Some years ago the ACT Housing Trust made space available in the Stuart Flats for the an emergency food outlet for residents of the complex. The accommodation was in Block 6 and presumably because of its origins, it became known as The Verandah. Wesley Uniting at Forrest, Canberra Baptist at Kingston, and this parish. It opens for food distribution from 12 to 2pm every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. There is also a support group for women and children that meets every Wednesday from 10.30am to 12.30pm.
Food distribution takes the form of emergency food parcels and the provision of free bread.
We are grateful to the Kingston Bakery for the donation of bread seven days a week. For other food, we are dependent on donations from members of the participating parishes. If you would like to donate food or if you feel you could help as a volunteer please contact Judith Webb on 6259 7140. The volunteers will be only too pleased to welcome you. Paul's now has an Anglicare Clothing Bin.
