Food Donations
The Silky Oaks Community Pantry alleviates food insecurity in our community by providing access to nutritious food at affordable prices. Unfortunately, given the level of financial distress many people and their families are facing, we are expecting community need to rise.
Silky Oaks Community Pantry is open all year-round and seeks community contribution to be able to supply the volume that we do. Please view our current appeals page for specific food items we are requesting at this time.
We kindly ask that any items for donation be brought to our reception during the hours of 9:00am-4:00pm
Op Shop Donations
Our Op Shop is located at our Bayside campus at 218 Manly Road, Manly. We gratefully accept all donations of goods with the exception of large items of furniture.
Items can be left anytime in or near the donation bins at the rear of the site or delivered to the Op shop shed during business hours of 8am to 2pm.
Bequests
Please consider including the work of Silky Oaks in your will. All types of donations, large or small, are gratefully accepted and go a long way to enabling us to meet our goal of supporting people and communities to thrive. Please contact us for more information.
