Loaves & Fishes Community Food Pantry

Introducing Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry, a remarkable community pantry for the people of Coffs Harbour. This lifesaving oasis of nourishment and sustenance goes above and beyond to offer food assistance to those in need.

For over 15 years, our invaluable service has supported thousands of individuals, providing not only the essentials but also inspiring hope for a brighter future free from poverty.

We understand firsthand the challenges of living without basic necessities, which is why we tirelessly strive to ensure that everyone in our community has enough food on their table.

In a region plagued by unemployment and rental stress, our low-cost offerings help individuals on Centrelink payments or with low incomes stretch their budgets and make ends meet.

Join us at Loaves and Fishes Community Food  Pantry, and together we can combat hunger, bring smiles, and end food insecurity in Coffs Harbour. Visit our store or check out our Facebook page for the latest updates.

Who Benefits From The Food Pantry?

At Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry, we are dedicated to helping those in need of food assistance. Our pantry benefits a wide variety of people including children under the age of 18, low income families, struggling individuals, multi-generational households, and those from all racial backgrounds and orientations.

We strive to provide resources for everyone who is facing hunger due to financial issues or other circumstances. Our volunteers help make this possible through donations that come into our food bank – enabling us to keep up with demand while also providing tax deductions to donors.

The funds raised by these generous contributions allow us to sustain our mission of alleviating hunger and improving nutrition for the community’s most vulnerable members. With your support, the Loaves and Fishes organisation can continue its efforts in battling food insecurity throughout Coffs Harbour and beyond.
