Tomorrow is Distribution Day… and this one feels extra special.

Not only are we opening the doors for another Pascoe Vale Food Collective distribution day, we’re also celebrating five whole years of this little community food co-op.

Five years of neighbours bringing containers.
Five years of sharing affordable food.
Five years of people showing up for each other.

What started as a simple idea — buying good food in bulk and sharing it with the community — has grown into something really special. A room full of reusable jars, friendly faces, volunteers weighing out oats and rice, people swapping recipes and catching up while they shop.

And tomorrow we get to do it all again.

If you’ve never been before, here’s how it works:
Bring your containers, bring a bag, and come stock up on pantry staples without the supermarket price tag or the excess packaging. Everything is sold at cost, run by volunteers, and powered by the local community.

If you’ve been coming for years — thank you. You’re the reason we’re celebrating five years of the Pascoe Vale Food Collective.

So come by tomorrow, say hello, fill a jar or two, and help us celebrate this little grassroots movement that keeps growing.

Five years in… and it still feels like the beginning.

See you tomorrow.

You don’t need to buy seperate products just a blender.
Fantastic tip from one of our members. All sugar is is different levels of blending. You can even add other things like molasses to sugar to create dark brown sugar.

Things to Bring to Feb Distribution Day (So You Can Shop Like a Pro)
Hey local foodies, slow-living souls, and eco legends 🌿✨

Our next Pascoe Vale Food Collective market is around the corner and we’re here to help you show up ready to scoop, save, and connect.

Here’s what to bring to make the most of your co-op experience:

1. Clean Containers (the quirky, the cute, the ice-cream-tub-turned-lentil-holder)
We’re all about reducing waste and making your pantry look adorable. Bring jars, tubs, or even that funky vintage tin you found at Savers. Everything gets weighed before you shop, so no need to stress.

👉 Pro tip: Label your containers at home with what you plan to fill them with. It saves you time at the weighing table!

2. A Shopping List (or a curious spirit)
Staples like rice, oats, beans, and lentils are always on hand. Planning a zero-waste dinner? Bring a list—or wing it and get inspired by the goods on offer!

📝 Need ideas? DM us for a sneak peek of what’s coming this month.

3. Reusable Bags (the strong kind!)
You’ll need something to carry your filled containers home. Think sturdy totes, canvas sacks, or even a laundry basket if you’re going big. This isn’t your average plastic-filled supermarket dash—it’s a sustainable shop with soul.

🌍 The planet thanks you.

4. Card or Bank Transfer
We keep costs low because we’re a not-for-profit collective, but we do need to cover our community-run expenses. Bring your card or Bank Transfer—either works! And every dollar goes back into the co-op to keep food affordable and accessible for everyone.

💚 Price transparency? Always.

5. A Friend (or your mum, neighbour, or toddler in tow)
The Pascoe Vale Food Collective isn’t just about food—it’s about community. Bring someone you love (or want to meet up with). Grab a coffee after. Make it a ritual. We promise it feels good to do this together.

✨ Because shopping should feel like connection, not chaos.

🛒 NEXT MARKET: Saturday 14th Feb

📍 Location: Pascoe Vale Senior Citizen Centre, 18 Norton St, Pascoe Vale
📲 Follow for updates

Tag someone who needs to come with you this time. Save this post so you don’t forget your containers. And if you're searching for a Melbourne food co-op with heart, soul, and legumes—this is it.
