Korumburra Produce Swap
If you have a garden or fruit trees and have produce to spare, this is the place for it.
Bring what you have, take what you need, donate if you can. $ donations go back into Milpara Support Services.
We do request that people only take what they need, if there is surplus and you do take a lot for jams etc, we appreciate a donation of Jams for our Emergency Foodbank. Let’s keep the circle turning.
In 2026 we will be scaling up with the purchase of a new trolley and storage, thanks to grant funding.
Milpara Korumburra's Emergency Foodbank
Milpara’s Emergency Foodbank has been operating for over 25 years, thanks to our wonderful community who support it.
Our fantastic volunteers Denise, Carolyn and Helen provide a dignified service during the following hours:
Monday 10am – 1 pm
Tuesday 10am – 1pm
Thursday 10am – 1pm
Or by appointment.
The foodbank relies on donations, both in supplies and financially, to ensure we can keep it stocked. We are able to stock products at reduced rates from Foodbank Victoria. Aldi Second Bite and Grow Lightly provide weekly donations. Frozen meals are donated by Frankies Kitchen along with many individuals and service clubs.
Please see our Thank You page.
