Help Fill the Little Pantry This Christmas

Christmas brings added pressure for many families in our community. On top of the usual cost of groceries and bills, there's the extra weight of presents, school holidays and festive meals and for some households that's simply out of reach.

The Little Pantry Christmas Appeal is calling on local workplaces, schools, community groups and sporting clubs to help make sure that's not the case. By starting a donation drive now, you can help stock the pantry with food and essentials ahead of the busiest time of year.

Start a donation drive

It's easy to get involved. Access the Christmas Appeal Resource Pack, a Canva template you can customise and print yourself, and set up a collection point wherever your community gathers, such as:

• A workplace or office

• A school or preschool

• A community centre

• A sporting club

• A gym or fitness centre

• A place of worship

The resource pack has everything you need to launch a drive, including promotional materials, collection signage and a list of the items most needed.

How to get involved

1. Access the Christmas Appeal Resource Pack

2. Set up a donation station at your workplace, school or community group

3. Collect donations through October, November and December

4. Drop your collected items at the Little Pantry, or find out more about collection by contacting our friendly team using the details below

Why it matters

The Little Pantry supports people experiencing food insecurity across Canberra, and every donation collected through this appeal goes straight back into keeping the shelves stocked. A single box of pantry staples or a trolley full, it all counts.

Start your donation drive today. If your organisation would rather make a direct contribution, you can donate here or get in touch with our team to talk through what's needed most.
