The South Burnett Pantry will be extending its service to Murgon this week to expand its support for local residents.<\/p>\n

The Murgon Pantry will open every Thursday (starting May 21) at 10:00am in the Baptist Church Hall (94 Macalister Street) to provide food relief for anyone feeling the pressure of the cost of living (no Centrelink referral or registration is necessary).<\/p>\n

It will stay open on Thursdays until 1:00pm, unless sold out earlier.<\/p>\n

Initially, the Murgon Pantry will be selling $50 pre-packed trolley hampers so pre-registration online<\/a> would assist, although cash will be accepted on the day (correct change would be appreciated).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each trolley will include (no swaps): a box of cereal, 1 kg\u00a0 rice, 50g pasta, 1L UHT full cream milk, sauce (approx. 500g jar), 2 x 420g tinned veg (mixed veg \/ corn \/ 4-bean mix), 425g tin of baked beans or spaghetti, 2 x 95g tins of tuna, packet of sweet biscuits, approx. 200g jar of spread (peanut butter \/ Vegemite \/ choc spread), 2 rolls of toilet paper, a bar of soap, \u00bd dozen eggs, a loaf of bread, 2 serves of meat\/protein (eg. beef, pork, mince\/sausages\/chicken) and a produce box (fruit & vegetables).<\/p>\n

Some weeks there may also be a limited number of low-cost add-on packs available for cleaning, school snacks or recipe and baking.<\/p>\n

There will also be a barbecue and tea and coffee will be available.<\/p>\n
