#TheLittlePantry is WCS’s emergency relief service for those in the Woden region struggling to put food on the table. People can come past and receive an emergency pack with a small number of non-perishable foods and personal items to keep them going.
Now halfway through 2022, more people are accepting this offer than ever before.
“We’re seeing higher rates of new users to our food support than ever before,” says Katie Peek, Community Development and Engagement Manager for WCS, which oversees The Little Pantry. “These include individuals who were coming to us for help two years ago before they managed to break out of the cycle of poverty. Now they’re forced to come back.”
