Jesus said: "whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"
Foodbank is a simple concept, each of our members (and a good number of other people too) provide long life groceries into a pool (or FoodBank) which is then distributed with dignity & respect to those most in need.
We believe that God calls us to share what we have, with those who are without.
Foodbank operates weekly, and now assists between 30 and 40 families from our local community each week.
If you want to participate and help help meet the needs of people, who are often overlooked by other formal services, all long life grocery items will be gratefully received. These can be left at the Community Centre reception.
For more details or assistance please contact us; email foodbank@newstart.org.au

The Sheep and the Goats
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
- Matthew 25:31-40
