The Food Barn provides cheaper than normal rates fresh food from the local markets and handpicked goods which are supplied from supermarkets and other companies in the surrounds.
About Us
New Life Community Care Foodbarn was born in 2008 to reach out into the Gold Coast community with love, support and hope. Since the opening, many volunteers have enabled us to reach out and help thousands of people in need.
We believe that loving support and acceptance is a vital key in helping so many who have suffered loss, hardship, neglect, abuse or health issues that have come their way. In order to further address this we also run a well accepted 12 step recovery program to help make a difference in our Gold Coast community. New Life Community Care Accommodation exists for those who may require assistance with emergency accommodation.
We hope to, in the future, on our 3-acre complex, have another 30 units for over 50’s with affordable rents and opportunities to work in our welfare services, helping others and giving back to our community. We understand that many over 50’s experience a hard time in finding employment. By welcoming them into our community organisation we increase their socialisation, boost their confidence and, for us, get some much needed volunteer assistance.
The amazing work achieved in our community would not be possible without the assistance of some 15-25 committed volunteers each day.
New Life Community Care is committed to the needs of support for people in hardship and need. The Foodbarn is only one arm of the services the charity runs that support over 17 charities and feed thousands of mouths a month and save somewhere between 25,000 to 30,000 tons a month of waste food going to land fill.
