Food Relief
You're not alone
For over 20 years, Lighthouse Care has been walking alongside individuals and families, providing practical food relief solutions that ease pressure today while helping households regain stability for tomorrow. Rising living costs, housing stress, job changes, illness, and unexpected life events can quickly make it hard to keep food on the table. If this is what you are facing in this season, we want you to know you’re not alone.

Affordable Grocery Bundles
Maximum value when every dollar matters
If you’re in a season where you need the most food for the lowest possible cost, our grocery bundles are designed for exactly that.
Our $25 Trolley is one of the most affordable food relief options available, providing 19 essential grocery items to help stock the pantry and fridge. On top of this, every $25 Trolley also includes a free bonus box, which changes daily depending on available stock adding even more value at no extra cost.
For families who need a little more, our $55 Bundle builds on this support. It includes:
These bundles are built to stretch budgets, simplify meal planning, and reduce the stress of choosing between bills and groceries. They’re available every week and provide a reliable, practical solution for families navigating food insecurity not just in crisis moments, but as ongoing support.
Discounted Groceries
Food relief with choice, dignity, and flexibility
Every family is different and food relief should reflect that.
Our stores stock over 900 grocery products, all heavily discounted at up to 90% off regular retail prices. This allows families to shop in a way that suits their household, rather than being limited to pre-set items.
Many families we support have:
- Specific dietary requirements
- Cultural food preferences
- Children with allergies or sensitivities
- Health needs that require tailored food choices
By shopping our full grocery range, you can select exactly what your family needs, while still accessing prices far lower than traditional supermarkets. This approach gives families greater control, dignity, and independence while still providing meaningful food relief.

Emergency support
When things become overwhelming
Free trolley initiative
Our free trolley initiative is our way of supporting families who may find themselves in emergency situations. Through our free trolley initiative we are able to provide families with free $25 trolleys to help alleviate the stress of providing food for their families.
How to apply
To apply for food relief please call our office on (07) 3806 0639 to speak with our team.
If eligible, we will provide a $25 trolley at no cost, or if unavailable due to stock and staffing limitations, we may place you on a waiting list.
We do our best to provide free food for all in need, however sometimes this isn’t always possible. If you aren’t eligible for assistance from our ‘free trolley initiative’ you are still welcome to access our $25 trolley and discount grocery stores at Loganholme & Hillcrest.
Funding the initiative
Being a not-for-profit means that we rely on donations and support from our amazing partners who are passionate about making a difference in the community. The more people who join and support our free trolley initiative, means the more families we can provide food relief to.
If you have the ability to partner with us at any level we would be so grateful for your generosity and support. Ever dollar counts and could be the difference between a family having food or going without.
Disaster Relief
Free trolley initiative
When natural disasters strike, access to food can disappear overnight. Floods, fires, storms, and other emergencies can leave families without power, transport, or the ability to shop for essentials. Lighthouse Care provides practical, ready-to-deploy food relief to support communities during these times. Our disaster response focuses on getting food to families quickly, safely, and with minimal complexity, when people are already dealing with enough. We work alongside local organisations, charities, churches, and emergency response partners to supply food hampers and grocery support where it’s needed most. These partnerships allow us to respond efficiently and scale support during high-demand periods. Because we are self-funded, our disaster relief capacity depends on available resources and stock at the time of an event. When possible, we prioritise families who have been directly impacted and have limited access to food. If your organisation is responding to a disaster or supporting affected families, please contact our team to discuss bulk food relief options and current availability.
