The team welcomed 21 guests and served up a delicious spread of tabbouleh, a hearty potato & cabbage curry, and a banana and custard slice that absolutely hit the spot. All of this came from a surplus haul of bananas, milk, parsley, cabbages, and potatoes; not exactly MasterChef ingredients, but you wouldn’t have known it from the plates going out!

Foodcycle Mitcham
FoodCycle Mitcham is a community project that transforms surplus food into free, nutritious meals, offering a welcoming space every Thursday evening at Togetherness Community Centre for anyone seeking food and companionship.

Operating every Thursday evening at the Togetherness Community Centre in Mitcham, the project welcomes guests from all walks of life to share a hot meal and engage in friendly conversation in a warm, inclusive environment. The meals are prepared by dedicated volunteers using surplus food collected from local supermarkets and grocers, ensuring that perfectly edible food is diverted from landfill and put to good use. Volunteers take on various roles, including cooking, hosting, and food collection, all contributing to the creation of a welcoming space where guests can enjoy both nourishment and companionship. By fostering connections among community members and promoting sustainability, FoodCycle Mitcham not only provides immediate support to those facing hardship but also works towards building a more resilient and connected local community.
