A Hand Up, Not A Hand Out
Hornsby Connect is a community-driven, not-for-profit organisation offering a “hand up” to individuals and families facing financial hardship in the Hornsby Shire. Through affordable food hampers, a welcoming café space, and access to support services, we aim to alleviate food insecurity and foster social inclusion. Our dedicated volunteers and partners work together to create a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and connected.

Register As A Client
We are now offering a “Staples” hamper, with a varied selection of pantry items, bakery items, fruit and vegetables for $15. This is a required purchase for all clients visiting the centre, and each hamper will contain the same item.
How It Works
Every Wednesday, clients can register and receive a low-cost food hamper filled with pantry staples, fresh produce, and more. Our café-style space invites everyone to sit down, enjoy a cuppa, and connect with others in a warm, respectful environment.
More Than Just Food
We believe in supporting the whole person. Hornsby Connect offers referral pathways, emergency support information, and a listening ear. It’s about restoring dignity and helping people move forward — together.
Powered By Community
Our service runs entirely on the generosity of volunteers, donors, and food rescue partners like OzHarvest, Foodbank, and SecondBite. Whether it’s packing hampers, preparing tea, or offering a smile — every contribution makes a real difference.
