It’s going to be okay, we are here to help you.
Do you need help with food?
You have come to the right place. We are here to help you. All you have to do is come into Angels Community Group (Angels Mini Mart) and ask a staff member for an emergency hamper. If you live in Chiders, Gin Gin or Rosedale we can help you too here.
The process is really quick and simple, they will ask you a few questions, your name, number home address if you have one and how many people that need assistance. We will need to sight your photo ID upon registering for a hamper. After they have that information they will make you a suitable hamper and you are good to go. Its that quick and easy. No shame, no invasive questions, just a helping hand. You cannot receive a hamper more than once a fortnight.
We don’t have hoops you have to jump through to receive help, but it is based on a honesty and trust system. There is no need to show proof of income, but please don’t abuse the system. All hampers are made from donations only and no government funding. Below are some answers to frequently asked questions.

What does a hamper have in it?
Every hamper is different because everyone’s needs are different. Depending on how many family members there are, what access you have to cooking facilities and what food we have at the time. Generally we try to supply food for two days for however many people there are and basic toiletries if needed.
