Atherton is the base of our Food Distribution network. It consists of our food bank and furniture store. Hampers are prepared on site and we co-ordinate our deliveries from the on site offices. This is also where the furniture is prepared for distribution.
It consists of our spray shop and furniture repair area as well as our joinery section. We have skilled staff, volunteers and work placements working together to create furniture packages.
