One of our friendly staff in the office at Hilltop.Church will answer your call, ask some simple questions to gauge your current situation. If you get the answering machine, please leave your name and contact number and the reason you are calling.

We offer a 30-minute booking where you may stay for a cuppa, a sandwich or a cup of hot soup. Here we'll get to know you and your needs, and help plan a food relief program that suits your needs.

No judgement, just a hand up when you need it
