Fighting hunger in Adelaide is a cause close to our hearts.

Thanks to the ongoing generous donations of non-perishable food and household items we try to keep our pantry full.  These items are given to struggling South Australians who can’t afford to put food on the table.

We provide more than 2,000 emergency relief food parcels a year.  These parcels include vital food and groceries.

A team of loyal volunteers welcome and support the 40-50 people who come to us for emergency relief every week.  They chat to each person to find out their needs so they can tailor a parcel to suit.  Is there a baby in the family? Any allergies? Any particular foods you don’t like or cannot eat?  How many children?

”I love volunteering with the Emergency Relief Program, because you hear so many interesting stories and know that you are making a difference in people’s lives that are doing it tough.”

“I’m doing a job where I’m helping people in a way that I couldn’t do myself, but I can do it in partnership with Baptist Care SA.”
