Anyone with a Concession Card, Health Care Card, Immi Card or student card can apply for goods from our Emergency Relief Pantry.

Please donate to the Emergency Relief Pantry

Unfortunately, we have to turn away approximately 55 more people each week, simply because we don’t have enough items in stock.

If you would like to help us stock our Emergency Relief Pantry so we can give away more Emergency Relief Food Parcels, we would be grateful to receive your donations of:

  • Long-life milk
  • Tins of tuna
  • Pasta Sauce
  • Pasta
  • Canned Spaghetti
  • Tinned meat-corned beef
  • Cups of noodles

Please bring your donated items to Baptist Care SA’s WestCare Centre between 9am and 5pm weekdays and let the Reception team know when you arrive by visiting the service window. If you will need assistance to unload your vehicle, please phone us in advance to arrange a drop-off time.

Acknowledgement of Country

Baptist Care SA acknowledges we work on the lands of the Kaurna, Peramangk and Boandik people. We respect the ongoing skilful custodianship of lands, skies and waters and the continuous deep cultural connection with Country. We pay respect to Elders and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from all Countries, Nations and Mobs.

Ngadlu tampinthi Kaurna miyurna yaitya yarta-mathanya Wama. Tarntanyaku, ngadluku piipawarpulayi kuu Kaurna yartangka tikanthi.

(We acknowledge the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains as the traditional owners of the land on which our office sits.)

Ngathu putama nhu mraat, mraat Boandikat wulnuwitjara Berrinat ba mraatat mingru Berrin (I recognise this country (is) the country of the Boandik, the custodians of Mt Gambier and the country around Mt Gambier.)
