Dear parishioners—our pantry is getting low again. We need your help to fill the pantry with non-perishable grocery items to help our brothers and sisters in need. Thank you so much for always responding generously to our pantry call-out. Your continued support helps our Gungahlin Vinnies Conference to service our local families.
When it comes to donating to stock our pantry, please note that SIZE MATTERS… Our Vinnies team have put together a list to help us donate what will help the grocery recipients best:
- 500g Dolmio Pasta Sauce (or similar)
- 1kg Rice
- 1kg Weetbix
- 750g Cornflakes
- 250g Rolled Oats
- 200g Instant Coffee

The above list is a guide, you may notice a few items when browsing the aisles that could work well for donation.
We want to ensure vulnerable families receive food that is nutritious and easy to access in a difficult situation. Therefore when purchasing pantry items please try to avoid the following:
- Junk food
- Items with packaging, which can be broken in transit
- Items that need can openers or special equipment (pop-top cans–whether for veggies, meat or fruit–are a plus)
Thank You!!
