The Cathedral Pantry serves people with limited access to normal retail outlets due to age, frailty, isolation or sickness, as well as people on a limited income.
Each person is treated with dignity and confidentiality is assured.
Those seeking to access the Cathedral Pantry will be asked to provide one of the following documents: Centrelink Card, Health Benefits Card, Senior’s Card or a photo ID such as a current driver’s licence. No one will be denied assistance due to the lack of such documents, but these documents will allow us to track how well we are serving the most needy people in our community.
For frail, aged and isolated people we may be able to offer some home delivery options.
