Thank you for Paying it Forward! 🎁

We’d like to say a huge ‘Thank you!’ to all the wonderful and generous people who Paid if Forward with Grocer Gift during Anti-Poverty Week and National Nutrition Week🫶

Last week we managed to raise $1033, which will be converted to Grocer Gift Cards to help put fresh, familiar food on the tables of people and families in our community.

We had dreams or raising $1,000 and thanks to do our generous donors, we managed to raise even more than that 🥹

Whether you donated, or shared or liked our posts, we’re so thankful for your support! 💚

You can make donations to our Grocer Gift Card fund year round. If you’d like to make a donation head to our website

It’s National Nutrition Week and Anti-Poverty Week.

National Nutrition Week 2026 and Anti-Poverty Week encourage us to take action against poverty and food insecurity–two systemic challenges that go hand-in-hand.

In Australia, fresh, nutritious food is abundant, however financial stress, limited transport, cultural inaccessibility, and a lack of local options mean that more people are worrying about how to afford food, or going without.

Only one quarter of households experiencing food insecurity are accessing emergency food relief due to issues like stigma, ineligibility, or poor quality.

Grocer Gift Cards offer a choice-based alternative to conventional food relief. That means people can choose the fresh, high-quality and culturally diverse fruit and veg that’s right for them, at little or no cost.

Grocer Gift Cards are distributed through 20+ trusted partners, like local health services, schools, and community based organisations. This means people can get fresh food support in places where they already live, learn, work and access services.

Our customers who have shopped with Grocer Gift cards to us that they help to reduce financial stress, and frees up funds for things like housing, healthcare, bills, and transport: Essentials that you shouldn’t have to choose over food.

This week, we’re asking for donations that will fund Grocer Gift Cards to help people bring fresh food home.
Every amount helps, and all donations are tax deductible.

This National Nutrition Week and Anti-Poverty Week, we invite you to help put fresh, familiar food on more people’s tables.

By making a donation to our Grocer Gift program, you’re directly supporting local community members to buy the fruit and veg they want, to cook the meals they love.

Last year, around one third of Australians were worrying about how to afford food, or going without. While emergency food relief is a common solution, only 25% of food insecure households use it due to issues like stigma, ineligibility, or poor quality.

In 2025, 76% of our customers who used Grocer Gift Cards said they preferred these to other types of emergency food relief. They liked being able to chat to our friendly teams, connect with neighbours, and decide what fresh produce they'd use to feed themselves and their families.

National Nutrition Week 2026 and Anti-Poverty Week encourage us to take action against poverty and food insecurity–two systemic challenges that go hand-in-hand.

If you’re able, we invite you to pay it forward: 100% of all donations will fund Grocer Gift Cards that help people bring fresh food home.

Thank you, Tori! 💚

Our Melton team has had the pleasure of having Tori as our Market Assistant, and now we're sending her off!

Always cool as a cucumber, she never met a line at the tills she couldn't handle ("There was a rush?") or a customer she couldn't banter with. 🥒

Our team and our regulars miss her, but we look forward to having her back as the occasional volunteer.

Thanks Tori!💚
