Welcome to
The FoodBasket
About The FoodBasket
We are a ministry of LifeChurch Maryborough.
Our vision statement is:
To Show Jesus Love to the Community.
We do this by offering to our members food at low cost and free to those in our community who are food insecure.
The FoodBasket started some 15 years ago and has grown steadily as the needs in our community have increased.
We have a wonderful team, made up of 3 paid staff and 50 dedicated volunteers who make this ministry possible.
