How We Help
We provide good quality food and practical support to local individuals and families – paving the way to a better tomorrow.
Bread & Bakery
Sliced loaves, rolls and other bakery goods.
Pantry Staples
Everyday essentials and fridge items to help families.
Community Support
Food distribution, practical support and a friendly welcome.
Two markets, one mission.
Happy Pantry runs two market areas side by side. They work differently on purpose — so we can feed as many people as possible within the community with free donated food, while also bringing in more discounted produce and products from a diverse range of farmers and suppliers who back us at our farm-fresh market.
Free Community Market
Donated & rescued food — always free. We have agreements with many of our donors to give their food away free of charge — so that is exactly what we do. It goes straight to families at no cost, and we never sell donated food.
Farm-Fresh Market
Fresh produce at a fraction of the cost. Early each morning we head to the markets, working with local suppliers and donors to bring in quality fruit, vegetables and other produce at a discount. It is available for a $10 tax-deductible donation, which goes straight back into buying more, paying for fuel and trucking, and keeping the pantry fridges and coolroom stocked.
A promise to our donors
Food you donate that is specifically given to be provided freely to the community — we never put it up for sale. The farm-fresh market is a separate market, collected through our relationships with local producers and suppliers, to help even more people.
New – Box Delivery
Good food delivered to your door.
Can’t make it to the pantry? Each box includes fruit and vegetables, two loaves of bread and a savoury item. The food is free. You only pay a $25 delivery donation to cover our transport costs.
Engaging with our community
Building a stronger community together.
Ensuring a great day out and a place to stop and chat with our volunteers every week.
One of our goals is to make sure the most vulnerable and at-risk groups in Baldivis and the surrounding area can meet their basic need to feed themselves and their families each week by visiting the Happy Pantry Shed – while enjoying a nice day out, connecting with our friendly and dedicated volunteers, and catching up with others in their local community over a cuppa and a hot soup or pasta.
We encourage local and corporate generosity through donations and volunteer recruitment. If you have the capacity to help us in our endeavour, please contact us to learn more.

Why we do it.
Vision
We, at Baldivis Community Support Inc, envision a community in which everyone has access to sufficient nutritious food.

We believe that access to nutritious food is a basic human right. We are committed to responding to the needs of our community through food distribution and support services. Therefore:
- We value respect, compassion and honesty in all interactions and activities.
- We value actively listening and learning, appreciating the worth and diversity of each person.
- We value nutrition education and advocacy programs that lead toward self-sufficiency and sustainable food systems.
- We value the wise use of resources, creating new ways to improve our services and effectively utilising community support that sustains our work.
- We value our staff and volunteers and their diverse talents, backgrounds, passion and commitment to the community.
- We value excellence in leadership. Our role in the community is to be servant leaders and partners for social change.
- We value creativity, the pursuit of knowledge and the sharing of expertise that result in social justice.
Everyone is welcome.
Feeding those who are struggling is one of the main reasons Baldivis Community Support Inc – Happy Pantry – was founded in March 2022. We believe access to nutritious food is a basic human right, and we are committed to responding to the needs of our community through food distribution and support services. No proof of hardship is needed.
