The Byford Free Food Market started about ten years ago. Over the years, the demand from families in need has grown to nearly 300 families every week increasing the number of volunteers.

​

The other component of the Byford Free Food Market is providing a community for our clients many of whom are suffering domestic violence or mental health issues.

 

The Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale has recognised with such a large customer base and the handling and packing of 3000 kg of food every week, that the need for first aid training for the volunteers was very much needed.

 

As such, the Shire of Serpentine has generously donated the Free Food Market a grant of $2,200 to enable our volunteers to be first aid trained of which we are very grateful.
