FIVE drop-off points for packaged food have opened around Frankston.
Food donations can be made at the Coles inside Karingal Village Shopping Centre, the Coles inside The Gateway Shopping Centre, Ritchies IGA in Seaford, Coles at Carrum Downs Plaza, and the level 1 information desk at Bayside Shopping Centre.
The mayor Sandra Mayer said that food donated would be distributed to charities like Community Support Frankston.
“These are difficult times and people in our community are doing it tough. Our wonderful volunteer groups are delivering food packages to the needy but are in short supply of certain items,” she said.
“You can help by placing spare long life consumables, such as canned food and packets of pasta, in the bins provided. Please don’t make a special trip to the shops for the purpose of donating, rather keep it in mind if you are already making an essential trip.
“Thank you all for the generosity you have already shown in supporting each other through this hard time. Your community spirit makes me even more proud to be the mayor of this city.”

Are you still accepting food donations.? We have a number of baby yoghurt (pantry style) that our babies don’t like.
