Asylum Seekers Centre

OUR FOOD BANK keeps on giving!

Our end of financial figures are in and over 2015-2016 we gave out a whopping 16,543 food bags to people seeking asylum - over double the amount (7,700) given out in the previous year!

We are very grateful to our regular donors and to all of our supporters who run food drives for us, but our clients needs are increasing so much that we need to GROW our #communitysupport.

If you would like to organise an ASC FOOD DRIVE at your workplace, school, community group or church please email jamie.lee@asylumseekerscentre.org.au for more information.

An alternative #nofuss option could be a Supermarket Gift Voucher Drive!

Adelaide artist Peter Drew set about releasing his 'Real Aussie' posters into the skies above Broken Hill, in outback NSW, in honour of the early Cameleers who migrated to Australia.
