Corangamite Food Bank: Emergency Food Relief

Foodbank Logo

Corangamite Food Bank (formally Camperdown & District Food Bank) is proudly run by Camperdown & District Community House to support members of our community who find themselves in need of food relief.

Camperdown & District Community House is a registered agency with Food Bank Victoria and Western District Food Share, and offers this service to the entire Corangamite Shire region. Non-perishable food hampers and non food essential items, such as nappies and personal hygiene products, are available.

We can all find ourselves experiencing periods of financial stress or circumstances that make it difficult to juggle all of the financial pressures and demands life can bring. We should never be in a position where we have to choose between purchasing food and paying a bill or any other of life’s essentials. This is where Corangamite Food Bank can help.
