Whether a school, business, community group or bunch of friends, you can run a food drive to help us source priority ingredients which are hard to acquire through normal food rescue channels. Right now our Melbourne chefs are desperate for tinned legumes such as kidney and cannellini beans, and chickpeas. These make a great ‘can castle’ challenge.

Tinned legumes are fantastic ingredients helping ensure we always have protein to add to our meals when meat is scarce. 

We also need dried chickpeas and lentils to add to our nutritious ready-to-eat meals while flour is an essential ingredient for making pastry for our famous quiches and sausage rolls.

Please note fresh meat, vegetables, eggs and bread are not suitable for community food drives.
