Welcome to Sapphire Community Projects
Sapphire Community Projects is a charity based in Bega, dedicated to supporting people experiencing poverty, food insecurity, and social isolation.
We run the Sapphire Community Pantry and Ricky’s Place Community Café — inclusive spaces where everyone is welcome.
Through affordable food access, shared meals, education, cooking programs, and community support initiatives, we aim to nourish and strengthen our community.
Our mobile pantry service is currently on hold while we work towards bringing it back in the future.
