Food Hub

UPDATE MON 16 AUG 2021

Hey fam! We know with increasing restrictions and COVID cases, it can be a really confusing to know what the right thing to do is, so let's clear that up a little.

The good news is that FOOD HUB will remain open throughout lockdown and is legal to access as a recognised reasonable excuse to leave home. However, as of MON 16 AUG 2021, residents of Sydney should access food and necessities within 5km of home wherever possible.

If you live more than 5km from UNSW you have a few other options including contacting Food Hub about arranging a delivery or searching for other food relief options in Sydney here, including...

OzHarvest Market Waterloo

OzHarvest Mobile Market (Regional NSW)

OzHarvest Hamper Hub Granville

OzHarvest Hamper Hub Lakemba

Study NSW and Food Bank

Stay safe and head over to Arc Help if you have any other questions or concerns related to lockdown and COVID-19.
