The Everyday Table Kiama

02/06/2026

Last week, a national survey revealed that one-third of respondents had skipped meals because they could not afford to buy food.

This actually happens in Kiama!!!!

We know because we’ve had these conversations at The Everyday Table.

We’ve spoken with people who are carefully calculating every dollar before they shop. People who are making difficult decisions about which bills get paid first. People who are going without so that their children can eat.

The rising cost of living isn’t something happening somewhere else. It’s affecting people in our own community.

That’s why The Everyday Table exists.

While we may not have the full range of products you’d find at a supermarket, every dollar saved on groceries can help free up money for rent, electricity, fuel, medications, school costs, and other essential needs.

But it’s about more than affordable food. It’s about community, dignity, care and connection. It’s about creating a place where people can gather around a table, share a meal, and know they are not alone.

If the cost of living is putting pressure on your household budget, we encourage you to come along.

Community is built when people care for one another.

A huge thank you to Ridz from and her mum for generously preparing a delicious dahl and rice dish to share at The Everyday Table last week.

When local businesses step in to support initiatives like The Everyday Table, it does so much more than provide a meal. It helps create a place where people can connect, belong, and experience genuine care. Every act of generosity strengthens our community and reminds people that they are seen, valued, and welcome.

We’re so grateful for the local businesses, volunteers, and community members who help make this space possible each week.

Walking through Sydney during Vivid and spotted this truck!

“Distributing food to the 1 in 3 households who need it most.”

It’s a powerful reminder that so many people are quietly doing it tough right now, and also a reminder of just how important organisations like Foodbank Australia are.

We’re incredibly thankful for the role Foodbank plays in helping support The Everyday Table Kiama. One thing many people may not realise is that the pantry items we offer through The Everyday Table aren’t simply handed to us for free. We actually purchase products through Foodbank, which then allows us to provide pantry items to our community at significantly reduced prices and help household budgets stretch a little further.

What this creates is so much more than just affordable groceries.

Each Wednesday, people gather around tables, share lunch, have conversations, laugh together, and build genuine connection. It’s become a place of community, care and connection where everyone is welcome.

We’re grateful for organisations like Foodbank that help make this possible, and for every volunteer, donor and supporter who continues helping us build a bigger table for our community.

When the table is full, we’ll just pull up another one.. and another one..

We know so many are doing it tough right now — and that’s one reason The Everyday Table exists.

It’s all about community, care, and connection — and one simple way we live that out is by offering affordable pantry items, up to 60% cheaper than supermarkets.

From pasta, rice and sauces to meal kits, toiletries and snacks. we’ve got you covered.

Come join us tomorrow from 10am–1:30pm, with free lunch from 11:30am.

Pull up a seat, share a meal, meet some friendly faces, and take a moment to pause and be part of something bigger than yourself.

Everyone is welcome at The Everyday Table.

You’re invited to join us tomorrow at The Everyday Table Kiama as we celebrate all kinds of mums.

Come along for a morning centred around community, care and connection around the table. Whether you’re a mum, grandmother, carer, missing your mum, or simply looking for connection, you are so welcome.

Our affordable pantry will be open from 10am–1:30pm, with pantry items available at heavily reduced prices to help support local households. Free lunch will be served from 11:30am thanks to the generosity of Kiama Leagues Club, Diggies Kiama and The Original Ice Creamery Kiama.

You’ll find us at the North Kiama Neighbourhood Centre, Meehan Drive, Kiama Downs.

At The Everyday Table, it’s about more than food. It’s about creating a space where people feel seen, welcomed and connected through simple conversation, shared meals and community care.

Did someone say something new?

Truth is… we always have new products hitting the shelves — we just don’t always remember (or have time!) to snap a pic and show you.

But this week, we did 👏

So here’s a little glimpse of what’s new and ready for you tomorrow!

Join us from 10:00am–1:30pm, with free lunch around the table from 11:30am.

You’ll find affordable pantry items — most around 60% cheaper than supermarkets — all here to help ease the pressure on your budget, while also creating space to slow down and be part of a caring community.

Come for the shelves, stay for the connection. You’ll find care, conversation, and a real sense of community as you take your time browsing and chatting with others.

We’d love to see you at North Kiama Neighbourhood Centre, Meehan Drive, Kiama Downs
