Important Update: Delta's Foodbank is closing
Our final day for food parcels will be Wednesday 30 July.
We know this will be a big change for many. Unfortunately, running the Food Bank has become too expensive, and the need now far outweighs the funding we receive.
But we’re still here — and we’re not going anywhere.
We’re shifting to new ways of supporting our community by focusing on connection, building practical skills, and strengthening long-term wellbeing.
Here’s how we’re continuing to support you:
✅ Community Cafés – Open Mondays & Fridays. Warm, low-cost meals and a place to connect.
✅ Advocacy & Budget Advice – Support with money, bills, housing, or navigating services.
✅ Chaplain Support – Someone to talk to when you need it.
✅ Free Food Table – Available outside Delta most days (as food allows).
✅ More activities coming soon – Let us know what you’d love to see!
We're here to walk alongside you — not just with food, but with friendship, support, and a community that cares.

We are very grateful to all our many and varied supporters who make the vision and mission of Delta Community Support Trust a reality. From the largest Funder to the smallest donation, every dollar counts, every gift of food, every voluntary act of service, every prayer counts. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! We are humbled by your generosity and your desire to be part of the difference Delta is making in the lives of those in our community who desperately need our help.
With your support we can continue to meet the needs of the elderly, those with intellectual disabilities, and people who are disadvantaged and struggling to get by on low incomes.
