A Heart in the City
Parramatta Community Care is a care arm of Parramatta Christian Church. The heart of Parramatta Community Care is to bring the love of Christ to the community.
Parramatta Community Care provides social welfare services to the disadvantaged - primarily through the FoodCare program.
FOODCARE
Each week, FoodCare provides fresh food and groceries at a low, affordable cost. All items come heavily discounted; some at no cost at all.
The FoodCare shop is located at 18 Barney Street, North Parramatta and is open every Thursday from 6 to 8pm, and every Friday from 10:30am to 1pm.
Our services can be accessed by any low-income earner and holder of a concession benefit card.
There is an easy registration process to be a part of the FoodCare program (Centrelink and identification documents will be requested).
EFTPOS facilities are available.
Limited on-street parking is available on Barney and Castle Streets. In addition, Metrobus M60 runs every 20 minutes in both directions between church and Parramatta Station.
DONATE
We are a non-profit entity and the only money we receive is through donations or limited shop takings. Your financial support is greatly appreciated - and donations are tax-deductible.
VOLUNTEER
FoodCare is only successful because of the continued sacrificial support of our volunteers. You don't need to be a member of the church to help out in areas such as:
- logistics
- delivery driving
- shop assistance
- baking
- welcome team
