Fresh food for our kids

for a stronger, healthier, more sustainable us.

We are currently raising $125,000 to start our scale up of the Healthy Lunch Kitchen to more children and more schools, and more community members; expand continue and expand our Young Growers Program and Traineeship; and deliver our Cooking School for Wellbeing for priority groups across our communities.

Now more than ever we need to work on implementing solutions that build strong, healthy, and sustainable communities. 

Our first SHIFT project – the Healthy Lunch Kitchen - has started.

In just our first year of operation, the Healthy Lunch Kitchen has served:

  • 8,000 nourishing school lunches 
  • over 10,000 individual healthy food items
  • at least 24,000 serves of vegetables in our school lunches 
  • 250 family and community meals 
  • 900 lunches @ work for community supporters 

And we have: 

  • Sourced produce weekly from 6 local producers- farmers and small businesses 
  • Created 6 new jobs in a healthy food system
  • Partnered with 6 local schools 

Demand for our nourishing food is increasing, other schools are keen to come on board. 

Our big vision is in front of us.

This vision builds a sustainable model by way of a facility for fish and vegetable production, which is powered by biogas, and is a place for agriculture, and commercial cooking, learning and training. 

This will bring enormous economic and social benefits to this, and ultimately many other communities searching for bold interventions that impact their very fabric.

We need to invest in community-designed enterprises that create learning pathways, jobs, a healthy food system, and children, youth and family health and wellbeing all in one.

A small amount can make a huge difference.

Your tax-deductible gift can truly be life-changing for those involved. 

We are incredibly grateful for the support of our wider community and look forward to sharing the incredible achievements of our team with you in the future.

 

Evidence is telling us how food is the solution – the way we grow it, and consume it.

It also tells us about the incredible benefits for children and young people in eating a nutritious diet for their physical and mental health and wellbeing, and participation in school, and community. 

We also believe that everyone deserves access to affordable, nutrition every day, especially when learning and working. And for farmers to be paid fair prices. 

Sustainable Healthy Integrated Food Towns – SHIFT – is an initiative that drives change in our community, one that builds a new healthy and sustainable food systems.
