North Ryde Uniting Church - Community Pantry - Christmas Giving Drive 2025

Every year, with the help of the community, East Ryde Doctors proudly supports North Ryde Uniting Church - Community Pantry, a local organisation that provides practical help and care for families and individuals in need. As we move into the festive season, we’re once again collecting donations at surgery reception to help make someone’s Christmas a little brighter.

We welcome any new or unopened items of nutritious food that would enhance Christmas Day lunch:

• Tinned meats

• Plum puddings

• Long life custard / cream / milk

• Tinned fruit

• Jelly

• Christmas Cakes

• Shortbread

• Fruit mine pies

• Snack food (like nuts)

• Fruit Juice

• Other non-perishable food (tinned goods, pasta, cereal, long-life milk, condiments, jams)

• Toiletries and personal care items

• Christmas decorations (bon bon).

  
  

All donations will be passed on to North Ryde Uniting Church - Community Pantry for distribution to local families and individuals who could use an extra hand this season.

Where to Drop Off

You can bring your donations to:

📍 East Ryde Doctors Reception - 3 Sager Place EAST RYDE

🕒 During our regular opening hours (Monday to Saturday)

We’ll be accepting items until mid-December, so there’s plenty of time to add something special to your next shopping trip.

💖 A Small Act, A Big Impact

Every can, card, or care item helps brighten someone’s day. Whether it’s a family doing it tough, a neighbour living alone, or a parent struggling to provide gifts for their children, your kindness matters.

Let’s show what the East Ryde community can do when we come together.
