Food For Families

Help fill a pantry – support our Food For Families Drive!

Croydon Hills Primary is taking part in Uniting’s Food For Families, helping to provide food and essential items to individuals and families doing it tough. This is a great way for students to learn about kindness, social responsibility, and community support.

How you can help

• Donate non-perishable food and essential items – canned goods, pasta, rice, toiletries, and more. 
• Drop off your donations at [Our school’s drop off location, e.g., main reception] by [drop off deadline].

• View the shopping list for suggested essential items. 

Why it matters

Your contributions will help stock Uniting’s emergency relief pantries, ensuring that individuals and families receive the support they need to put a meal on the table when it’s needed most. 

We can make a real impact! 

• Collection Dates: 2 November - start of December
• Drop-off Location: Main school office
• View Shopping List: most needed items 

Food hampers available

We are aware that 2026 has had its challenges, families have been feeling more stretched than they have before. With the Christmas & holiday season coming it can all feel a bit much. We want to acknowledge that some people have been, and still are doing it tough. 

To help ease the pressure this coming season and upcoming holidays, we will have food hampers available for families in need within our school community to take home these holidays. Foodbank is a wonderful resource we benefit from throughout the year with our fruit program. Foodbank also provides other food options (hampers and groceries) for families that need some help- everyone does from time to time. 

These hampers include simple food items such as cereals, rice, spreads, tinned foods (spaghetti & baked beans), UHT milk, popcorn, soups and fruit cups. 

Please fill out the form below if you would like to help by collating hampers or donating goods or if you would like to receive a food hamper.

Food hampers will be ready for collection in the last week of school.

You can contact our wellbeing team if you have any questions.
