The Little Pantry is an emergency food relief service – a place where you can go in times of need.

Accessing The Little Pantry

You can visit us and get an emergency pack with a small number of non-perishable foods and personal items.

When: 9am to 5pm, Monday – Friday

Where: Woden Community Hub – Westfield Woden, Office Suite 003 (near Commonwealth Bank)

We are also opening a new walk-in service where you can self-serve and pick out items that you need. This gives you more choice and control over what grocery items you bring home.

The Walk-in service runs every Thursday from 2pm – 4pm.
