Burdekin Community Association Inc (BCA) partners with Coles in Ayr to deliver the SecondBite Community Connect Program.
SecondBite began in 2005 with one couple – Ian and Simone Carson. Gathering a committed group of friends, they would visit market stalls in Melbourne at the end of a day, collect surplus food, and drop it to a local charity that ran a food program. In 2011, Coles and SecondBite formed a national partnership, which led to a rapid expansion of our organisation’s operational scale and reach. SecondBite now works in every state and territory in Australia.
The BCA Team collect donated food directly from Coles in Ayr, Monday to Friday mornings. They then have it ready for community members in need to access at the Support Centre by 9am.
You can also help others by donating food for the BCA’s ‘Community Pantry’ at 130 Queen Street, Ayr. Ph: 4783 3744. E: bca@bcaburdekin.org.au
