Mustard Seed (Victoria)

Our goal is to provide, from what we are given, a grocery hamper of nutritional food. Our hampers most often include tinned and packaged goods, seasonal fruits and vegetables, meat and dairy products. We have the privilege of passing on to you the best hamper we can. Our reward is in knowing that we help many families and seniors to put food on the table. A child cannot learn on an empty stomach.
