As many of our customers live in surrounding villages, and because some are unable to get into Bega, we bring the Sapphire Community Pantry to them.
In 2019 we were fortunate to receive two generous donations - $20,000 from Rotary Inner Wheel, and $50,000 from the Commonwealth Bank. With this money we purchased a Ford Transit van we’ve affectionately called MIGALOO (as it was originally a big white van). This van has enabled us to more easily load up Pantry stock to take it out to the villages of Cobargo, Quaama and Bermboka. Recently our van has had a transformation with the help of a grant from St Vincent de Paul.
We can’t fit everything into MIGALOO but we bring out a selection of our most popular offerings, plus fresh fruit and vegetables.
