No need to scooch. We saved you a seat!
Clusters of tables covered with plates full of delicious and hearty food, with 40 new friends squeezed in side by side. That’s the community lunches that you help create. Every week, with YOUR support, we invite locals to share lunch together at our Ballarat Community Food Centre. Serving up a three-course meal, these afternoons are pretty special, giving hard-hit regional communities a chance to connect and share their stories. All over a plate of great food, which sometimes will be the only meal they eat that day. Which is why we do everything we can to make it count.
Some visitors might walk in as strangers, but after a hot meal on a cold day and a little community storytelling… it’s quite the challenge to walk away without a new friend in tow!
