Stonnington's Winter Food Drive

Help us provide nourishment to those in need by donating canned goods and dry food packets during winter.

We are working with the Malvern Emergency Food Program (MEFP) who collect non-perishable food donations from school students and other members of the community to make food parcels that provide a balanced diet for two to three days. The parcels are then distributed 24/7 at Malvern and Prahran Police Stations and other agencies as needed.

With the increased cost of living, MEFP is experiencing high demand for food parcels

Food parcels are a practical way to help families facing a temporary crisis as they provide a two-to-three-day supply of nutritionally balanced non-perishable food.

Next time you're out shopping, drop an extra item into your trolley to help us grow our winter food drive.
