From fresh produce to pantry staples, our food boxes can help bridge the gap during a difficult period, ensuring that you have one less thing to worry about.

Begin Your Journey to Support

Navigating life's financial uncertainties can often feel overwhelming, but taking the first step towards getting help doesn’t have to be. The Northern Gold Coast Community Care Program is here as your starting point. While we can't promise a solution for every situation, we're dedicated to doing our utmost to assist or guide you towards someone who can. Here’s how you can start the process:

  • Step 1: Inquiry Submission

    Complete our initial inquiry form with some basic information about yourself and your current circumstances. It's a simple step that opens the door to potential support.

  • Step 2: Personalized Review

    We’ll thoughtfully review your submission to understand how we might assist. If our program can help, we’ll contact you to discuss further steps. If not, we’ll aim to connect you with other resources or organizations better suited to your needs.

  • Step 3: Collaborative Path Forward

    Should our program be a fit, we’ll work together to tailor the support we can offer. And in cases where we’re unable to help directly, we’ll strive to provide referrals to additional services and resources.
