Amrita Pantry Byron Bay is a new initiative of the Byron Bay Amma Group, Amrita Australia Limited and the Byron Bay Community Centre. The aim is to support the Byron Bay Community Pantry (a free food box service for people in need) with donations of food and other essential items. Since the advent of the COVID-19 lockdowns there has been a massive spike in the amount of individuals and families asking the Community Pantry for support and the Byron Bay Community Centre has been reaching out for donations.

These items will be donated to the Byron Bay Community Pantry.
