Community Cupboard unveiled at Eltham

27 March 2025

The Community Cupboard at Eltham stocked with food, toiletries, pet food and other essential items

This week we were thrilled to launch our new Community Cupboard at Eltham!

The Community Cupboard will provide relief to people in our local area by offering non-perishable food and essentials, including pet food and toiletries. It aims to ease cost of living pressures and help people access items they need to thrive and stay well.

This important community initiative is part of a broader project to refurbish the reception area at healthAbility Eltham, and aligns closely with our vision, purpose, and strategic direction.

“The Community Cupboard is a vital part of fulfilling our purpose, to make wellbeing easy, and achieving our vision of a world in which everyone is thriving and well. We hope it makes a real difference to the health and wellbeing of people in our community, and provides a safe, supportive and inclusive place for all.” – Roz Sandwell, Executive Wellbeing and Prevention at healthAbility.

Thank you to everyone involved in bringing the Community Cupboard to life, including community partners like LinC Eltham and Share the Dignity for helping us to stock the shelves with food, toiletries and hygiene products.  

Stocking the Community Cupboard relies on generous donations from our staff and community partners. If you are interested in supporting the Community Cupboard please email contact@healthability.org.au
