UnitingCare SA is in active partnership with several Uniting Churches to create Emergency Relief Centres where people can go for food parcels or prepared take-away meals.

These services have provided well over 100,000 instances of support to South Australians since April 2020.

Most of these services receive no funding to buy food - we are relying on the generosity of the community!

Support UnitingCare Emergency Relief Centres:

  • Connect an ERC with any local businesses or community groups that might be able to help.
  • Donate non-perishable food and food prepared by generous partners like catering companies
  • Volunteer for a UnitingCare ERC near you, as many of our regular volunteers have been asked to stay home for their protection.

Donations over $2 are tax deductible. Donations will help UnitingCare ERCs to source food, packaging and safety gear to enable the church to respond to the COVID-19 crisis and beyond.
