Our Shop & Share program is a beautifully simple way for everyday shoppers to support people in crisis. While picking up your own groceries at Coles Kew and Blackburn North, you can help stock our kitchen by donating a few pantry staples that make a world of difference.

Just purchase any of the following items featured on our boards and drop them in our clearly marked donation baskets outside the checkout:

• Rice (uncooked)

• Penne pasta

• Canned chopped tomatoes

• Tomato paste

• Tuna in oil

• Liquid stock

• Olive oil

• Hoisin sauce

• Sesame oil

These essential ingredients go directly into the heartwarming, home-style meals we prepare for:

• Women and children escaping family violence

• Individuals experiencing homelessness

• Families caring for seriously ill children

• Community members facing mental health challenges

Each small gift adds up to something powerful. Thanks to community generosity, we produce over 25,000 nourishing meals each year — meals made not just with quality ingredients, but with love and dignity.

Your next grocery run could be someone else’s lifeline.
