City of Port Phillip Emergency food directory
Introduction
This directory is to help people who are having difficulty accessing food
and grocery supplies and resources for City of Port Phillip Businesses
during the current COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions.
As well as information about local shops and supermarkets, the directory
also includes information about emergency food relief.
For people who can’t shop in person because of existing conditions or
isolation measures, some shops and supermarkets are offering additional
services and deliveries.
Council is continuing to operate many of our services for eligible members
of our community, such as the elderly or people with disability.
There are also several community organisations which are providing free
meals, food parcels and vouches.
If you notice friends, family or neighbours in your community who
require extra assistance, we encourage you to stay connected and support
them safely.

Options to purchase food
If you can’t leave home due to self-isolation or require additional support to access services, where
possible, it’s best to ask family or friends who are not self-isolating to pick-up and deliver food or
other items for you. Where this isn’t possible, a number of services are available.

hygiene products that will be distributed to community organisations.
Share the Food project is responding to an escalation in requests for food and essential items
(phone cards, Myki cards, pharmacy vouchers, food vouchers). This is a collaboration between
Council, coordinated by the Port Phillip Community Group, and supported by a range of project
