The Food Centre was founded in 1990, located at Gepps Cross and is classified as a Social Supermarket in South Australia that provides low cost groceries and household provisions to low-income families and households. The Food Centre, in collaboration with other NFP organisations provides other social wrap-around services such as Financial Counselling, The Good Shepherd No interest Loans Scheme and warm referral for support through other organisations.

In addition, you will take the lead in ensuring our two projects (1) Paddock to Plate and (2) The Community Enterprise Programme activities are active and supported by the Volunteers, collaboration partners and stakeholders. In each instance gather and analyse the Data to support the success of the two projects.
