The Hub Café & Community Fridge

About Us

A Christ-centred community where no one goes hungry, every home is supported, and every soul is uplifted with love, dignity, and hope.

“If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.” Isaiah 58:10

Our food bank exists to support individuals and families facing food insecurity with dignity, compassion, and respect.

More than just a place to receive food, our food bank is a community hub where people find practical support, encouragement, and connection. We believe that everyone deserves access to the basics of life — and that small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

Working in partnership with local organisations, volunteers, and donors, we are committed to fighting hunger and restoring hope — one parcel at a time.

Vision & Mission

Our aim is to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community — responding to physical hunger and emotional needs with kindness, humility, and love. We endeavour to meet people where they are, walk alongside them in their struggles, and help them rebuild with faith, support, and renewed purpose.

Guided by God’s love and the teachings of Christ, our mission is to serve those in need with compassion and grace. We provide nourishing food parcels, essential household support, and spiritual and emotional guidance — offering not just help, but hope. Through faithful service, we seek to restore dignity, strengthen families, and shine God’s light into the lives of those facing hardship.

Community Fridge & Support Network

We provide emergency food parcels, household essentials, and a listening ear to those experiencing difficult times. Whether someone is navigating a crisis, a low income, or unexpected life changes, we’re here to help — without judgment and with a heart to serve.

Creative Space

A warm and inclusive hub where imagination, community, and conversation come to life. Whether you’re into painting, reading, knitting, playing board games, or simply having a chat over a cuppa, there’s something here for everyone.

Special Events

Throughout the year, we host a variety of special events designed to uplift and encourage everyone who walks through our doors. From seasonal celebrations and fun days to workshops, and creative sessions, our events are open to all and filled with warmth, hospitality, and hope.

Experiences

“The food parcels have been a lifeline for our family. But more than food — the kindness and prayer from the team gave us hope when things were darkest. I was nervous to ask for help. The team welcomed me without judgment and offered prayer and coaching that helped me plan next steps.” – Paul

“As a volunteer, I love how compassionate and organised the team is. I see real change — people smile again. Seeing the difference this food bank makes in people’s lives inspires our community to serve more — faithful action with measurable impact.” – Charlotte

“Donating here feels different. We know our gift reaches hungry families and supports whole-person care — physically and spiritually. Compassion makes all the difference” – Julia
