Every month for the past few years members of Woy Woy CWA have dropped off a car boot load of non-perishable items to the Woy Woy Community Pantry.
Donations of food, cosmetics, toiletries or hygiene products are accepted.
The pantry was started approximately eight years ago by members of the community, with 12-14 volunteers giving their time tirelessly to help those in need.
“They engage with every person who shops with them which can affect four others, so (they) can actually help over 250 people within the Woy Woy community every week,” a CWA spokesperson said.
“They have three packages available for $10, $15 or $25.
“Each package is worth way more than the purchase price and goes a long way in helping many families who struggle with rising food and essentials costs.”
The $10 package comprises fruit, vegetables and bread; the $15 package contains fruit, vegetables, bread and pantry items; while the $25 package contains all these plus personal items and four selections of meat.
The pantry is visited by between 45 and 55 people a week who come to shop.
It is open every Friday from 11.30am-1pm and operates out of the Seventh Day Adventist Church at 83 Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy.
All donations of food items are accepted on the forth Wednesday of each month between 9am and 10.30am at the CWA hall at 30 The Boulevarde, Woy Woy.
Nicely done people!
