ROAST PORK WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS!

Now that’s something to look forward to.

Thanks to the generous donation of much-needed meat from DYRSL, our clients are enjoying a delicious roast pork dinner, complete with apple sauce, rich gravy, crackling, roast potatoes, carrots and broccoli, all prepared by our Monday afternoon cooking team.

Our wonderful drivers are delivering it hot.

With meat supplies running low, this donation has made a real difference, helping us keep the meals flowing to people doing it tough in our community.

A huge thank you to DYRSL🙏

DYRSL TO THE RESCUE! ❤️

A massive thank you to Executive Chef Alison Kinross and DYRSL for donating 50 kg of mince and 50 kg of pork roast.

With our rescued and donated meat supplies running desperately low, and our freezer looking very empty, this incredibly generous donation couldn’t have come at a better time!

This will help us keep our kitchen cooking and our meals going out to those who need them most.

Here’s Paula, our Fresh Meal Co-ordinator, picking it up from DYRSL loading dock.

Thank you DYRSL for stepping up when we needed it most!

💚 A LITTLE COOKING. A BIG DIFFERENCE. 🍲

Could you cook meals to help someone doing it tough?

At One Meal Northern Beaches, we believe everyone deserves a nourishing meal made with care. And you can help make that happen — right from your own kitchen! ❤️

We’re looking for more Home Cooks to join our wonderful volunteer community as demand for food relief continues to grow.

👩‍🍳 How does it work? It’s easy!
🥕 We provide the takeaway containers and labels.
🍲 You provide the ingredients
🏡 You cook the meals in your own kitchen.
🍱 You fill 10-12 containers with delicious, home-cooked meals.
🚗 You deliver them to our Brookvale warehouse the following morning, ready to go to people who need them.

⏰ Just a few hours of your time can make a real difference.

You can volunteer weekly or fortnightly, cooking on a Sunday, Monday or Tuesday and delivering the next morning. Delivery times can be flexible, so we’ll work with you to find something that suits.

No need to be a professional chef — just someone who enjoys cooking and wants to give back to the community. 💚

Every meal means one less person worrying about where their next meal will come from.

Could you be one of our Home Cooks?

📧 Email us at [email protected] to find out more or get involved.

Our supply of rescued meat has been very low and we urgently need to find new sources to keep our meals flowing to people in need.

We use around 100kg of meat every week to cook nourishing meals.

Our freezer has been looking very empty lately and we need your help.

We’re looking to connect with butchers, supermarkets, meat suppliers, or any businesses that may have surplus meat available for donation or food rescue, whether regularly or from time to time.

🙏 Do you know someone who could help?

Please help us spread the word. Together, we can rescue more food and keep the meals coming!

This morning, a One Meal team of 10 joined the 8.8km walk to raise funds for Mary’s House Services, a domestic and family violence support service that One Meal is proud to support with nourishing meals.

Together, they raised an amazing $1,140! A huge thank you to everyone at One Meal who donated and helped support this important cause.

Mary’s House raised a whopping $145,000 on the day! 💜

These funds will help provide specialised social work support for victim-survivors of domestic and family violence, helping them rebuild their lives and move towards a safer future.

We’re proud to stand alongside Mary’s House Services and support the important work they do in our community.
