The Everyday Foundation will open the doors to its new Currie Street location in Nambour today, September 10, giving the community a place to shop for affordable groceries.
Everyone is invited to the grand opening to enjoy a sausage sizzle from 10am, as well as half-price barista-made coffee today and tomorrow.
This multi-million-dollar facility couldn’t come at a better time as cost-of-living pressures continue to hit hard across the Sunshine Coast.
The building will house all The Everyday Foundation’s programs, including its low-cost food outlet which is open to everyone.
The outlet stocks a wide variety of products, including pantry staples, meat, toiletries and cleaning products, snacks, freezer goods, milk and bread.
“Whether you’re stretching a pension, feeding a young family or just want to save some money off your weekly shop, our store is open to everyone,” general manager Karen Gullo says.
“And once you’ve done your shopping, you can grab a coffee and a treat at Bean, our on-site cafe.
“Every dollar spent in store goes back into our food relief programs.
“So, it’s good for your wallet and your community.”
The building will house the foundation’s meal-support kitchen, emergency relief program, and Christmas hamper initiative.
The opening comes on the back of the Zaleta Love Food, Give Food Long Lunch – The Everyday Foundation’s signature fundraising event, which raised an incredible $320,000 in August to support its food relief efforts.
