COMMUNITY FOOD TABLE AND LITTLE FREE PANTRY
The Yea Community Food Table and has been running for some years with great response! The table is a free (or by donation/ swap) produce stand, in the foyer of the Yea Council Library/ Community House. It is supported by local school gardens, and many local gardeners. People can pay as little or as much as they can afford, and are encouraged to bring in excesses from their own gardens to donate to the Table, and to think about planting a little extra to share. Bring excess produce to Yea Community House.
​
The Little Free Pantry provides non-perishable pantry staples, such as flour, tinned food, UHT milk, and snacks at no cost to whoever needs them. The Little Free Pantry is located right next to the Community Food Table, and is supported by donations from community groups and individuals. The table is restocked each Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday (excluding School holidays). St Luke's op-shop Yea, Sacred Heart Church Yea and CWA Yea make monthly cash donations that is used to purchase food from FoodBank. ​
