Keep the Everton Park Community Pantry open!

There is a cost of living and housing crisis that is seeing a lot of people skipping meals or going hungry to make ends meet and living in unstable conditions. I think its awesome some community members took initiative to help their neighbors. You have to be a legit villain of a person to want to shut this down. If you are a local passing by and you see room for improvement then how about you get involved and give support rather than shutting down something made to help everyone get through.

There are so many people having a hard time so community help is so appreciated and needed. Government help just isn’t there.

Mike Silvester

The community needs services like this. There are needy people out there!

Diane North

Let them continue to do they much needed work that they are doing

Rebekah Jones

We need this and the government is bot providing the service. Who else is going to do it. People are suffering out thwre.

Amanda Thorley

Food banks provide such an important service to people who do not have food security. Closing a food bank is counterproductive.

Patricia Weeks

With more and more people struggling with their bills and living expenses what harm can a food pantry do? I suggest none at all, only good can come from having some free food and friendship in today’s sad and sorry world. I am shocked and saddened that anyone would complain. I want to give praise to all the wonderful people who volunteer their time. And/or give freely to help others less fortunate than themselves.

Because while Governments fail to care for their people, those who do should be supported, not demonised.

It is so important in these tough times to do whatever we can and raise ground roots understanding and encourage our community to look out for others. Please don’t let well intended bureaucracy stamp on this fabulous initiative.

People are struggling, this is not the time to shut down charities like this

Come together, everyone could be one pay check away from needing to ask for help, we’ve donated to here & seen the gratitude and help that this service provides

Hana Garvey

This community pantry is such a vital service. It would be devastating for many if it were to close

Supporter

The Pantry is providing a community service with labour and donations freely given with no financial benefit to anyone.

Proud of my community taking care of the most vulnerable people.

In a perfect world we don't need this, but unfortunately we do.

Darren Adams

This is totally outrageous that someone has complained about a charity feeding those in need.... what is wrong with some people!?

Nancy Briggs

This is a very important community service that gives the unwanted produce to the people who need it. I hope a solution can be found on a safe environment for or concerned be found. The people organising this service have gone above and beyond to serve their fellow citizens.
