FOODBANK AT ST MARTINS IN THE COMMUNITY

Corner Gorge and Lower North East Road

Paradise SA 5075

The Foodbank Mobile Hub Service visits St Martins on alternate Wednesdays between 12.30 and 1.30pm.

Visits in 2025

1st, 15th and 29th October.

12th and 26th November.

10th and 24th December.

St Martins will issue you a voucher when you come on these days. Foodbank will then register you and you will be able to access their services.

The Parish’s Op Shop “Reggie’s Shed”
Is open throughout Foodbank’s visit, providing quality second-hand bric-a-brac, clothing, books, CDs etc.
We hope that this networking might create opportunities for a social group or one-off meetings.
It would be wonderful if our Foodbank customers and Foodbank volunteers could become volunteers at St Martin’s, helping for example in the Op Shop or as gardeners in the cemetery, with monthly working bees that would be supervised and tools provided.
For those Foodbank clients who may be looking for work, volunteering in this manner could also provide them with work experience.
This works well with which we would encourage with the clients and volunteers endorsing the NCLS that 98% of people have a strong sense of belonging, 100% agree St Martin’s is inclusive of different kinds of people, 93% have found it easy to make friends at St Martin’s and 98% agree it is easy to become involved in ministry at St Martin’s
