Thank you to our wonderful weekend volunteers, who braved a rainy day to raise a huge $1,900 for food relief in Melbourne 🌭

Every $1 we raise funds one meal in the community, so events like this create real impact, as well as driving awareness of food insecurity.

Thanks to everyone at , Collingwood, who stopped for a sausage and a chat. And thanks to singing tradies who paid us a visit to brighten up the afternoon ☀️

We could not be more proud of our founder, Alex Dekker, who won the Rising Star Award at The University of Melbourne Alumni of Distinction Awards last week!

🥳🥳🥳

These awards recognise the achievements of business and economics alumni who have demonstrated ‘an outstanding level of professional achievement and community involvement’ since graduating.

🍝 Anyone who knows Alex knows how passionate he is about tackling food insecurity, and doing it from a foundation of dignity and respect.

💪🏼 It’s work he’s been tirelessly championing since 2020, when he was just 19 years old; and work that has delivered more than 1 million meals to vulnerable people around the city.

⭐️ And ‘rising star’ is apt, because he’s not done yet!

🎉 Huge congratulations to Dr Gordon de Brouwer, who won the Leadership Award; and to the Honourable Mary Wooldridge, who won the Outstanding Achievement Award for her work championing gender equity.

Now, where are we going to put this crystal angel?

Big smiles in the kitchen😊🍲

We got to host Minister Ros Spence, Nathan Lambert MP, and Kat Theophanous MP at AMM Preston for the Victorian Government’s Community Food Relief announcement.

A $9 million investment into food relief = more good meals getting to people who need them, with dignity and care. 💛

For us, it means we can kick off a $270,000 partnership with to strengthen food relief across Melbourne’s north-east and into regional communities — alongside 20+ brilliant frontline organisations.

We’re talking:
🥘 78,000 fresh meals
🧊 fridges + food-safe gear for agencies
🤝 training + shared tools so communities can lead the work

Huge love to our kitchen crew, volunteers, partners, and donors. This is your win too. ❤️

Let’s keep cooking. Let’s keep showing up.
