The CEFC provides food parcels to individuals and families in need.

These can be accessed either directly from the centre or through a social worker, and can be delivered to most towns in the Wimmera and Southern Mallee region.

The CEFC is staffed by 65 volunteers and helped over 730 households in the past year.
