Parish Pantry — Emergency Food.

Emergency Food Parcels are available from the Parish Office, located behind our church in Zadoc Street, Lismore.

We are open 9 am to 1 pm and are on the ground floor. There is no need to ring beforehand; turn up, and we will hand you a food parcel. We ask only for your name.

Food parcels are basic and last about two days, and include goods such as coffee and tea, Milo and powdered milk, baked beans, spaghetti, tuna, noodles, muesli bars, tinned fruit, and tinned meat. We also have a limited supply of toiletries.

We receive no government funding to provide this assistance, and our parishioners donate all food.

Soup Kitchen

Can you turn a bag of sausages into a tasty meal for about 40 people?

Then why not give the soup roster a try? The sausages are available for pickup on Friday, and we delivered them to the Winsome Soup Kitchen on Sunday at 10 am.

The Lismore Soup Kitchen at the Winsome Hotel has just celebrated its 35th Anniversary of providing meals to the less fortunate in the Lismore community. St Andrews Cooks have been part of this journey for 20 years. It enables the Winsome Hotel Kitchen to have Sundays off from cooking for approximately 100 people per lunch.

Sharon Dwyer, the coordinator at the Soup Kitchen, organises the Soup Roster and can be contacted as follows:
