Dear ,

Now we've moved into June and colder weather, we are asking for your support in helping us provide free plant-based meals to people in need in our community.

A $50 donation will cover the cost of 20 warming meals and help us with the increased demand for meals.

Please donate via our website here: https://projectfreshstart.org.au/

All donations of any amount are gratefully received and tax deductible.

Thank you for your ongoing support.
With love,
The Project Fresh Start team. 🙂🙏🌱💚

What lovely gifts we received from the wonderful Knit4Charities which was so well received by our lunch guests yesterday, and now boxes of these handmade items knitted by volunteers are off to David Scott School for a project we are doing with the students to make sure they go to those in our community that need them the most ♥️🙏🌱

As National Volunteer Week comes to a close, we want to acknowledge not only the people who volunteer in formal roles, but also the quiet acts of kindness that happen every day.

The quiet helpers — checking in on neighbors, cooking extra meals, carrying shopping, stopping to help someone in distress, picking up rubbish in the street, caring for rescued animals or a friends pet while they are away, or just giving encouragement when it’s needed most.

So much of what holds communities together happens quietly, without titles, rosters, or recognition.
Volunteering is not always an assigned role. Sometimes it is simply a commitment to making the world a kinder place.

To our incredible Project Fresh Start volunteers, thank you for the time, care, energy and heart you give to our community. And to everyone who helps others in big and small ways every day — we see you, we value you, and we thank you ❤️🌱

Thank you so much for your patience while we took a short pause. We’re now returning to all our regular services.

The Community Fridge at Orwil Street Community House Inc is full, and if you miss out, meals will also be available on Thursday morning at Bloom Cafe and Friday again at Orwil St.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support — we’re so happy to be back serving our community.❤️🙏 🌱

What a beautiful treat it was to experience Medagnosis — a calming blend of meditation and hypnosis — at Breathe Hair-Frankston with our wonderful friend and volunteer, Warwick. ✨

Warwick has started this wonderful initiative on the first Monday night of each month, with all proceeds going to Project Fresh Start.

Not only does he generously share his time and skills with his good friend and practitioner Michael who also donates his time , he also provides the most delicious plant-based food for everyone to enjoy afterwards. 🌱

We are so grateful for Warwick’s kindness, creativity, and ongoing support of our community. If you’re looking for a peaceful way to reset, reconnect, and support a good cause at the same time, this is such a special evening to be part of. 💚♥️🙏🌱
