Can you help us out?

As a grassroots organisation, donations are vital to our operation. Any assistance you can provide us goes directly to our efforts in empowering the culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) community.

Donations have allowed us to:

  • Deliver thousands of culturally diverse and nutrious meals to families of the South East suburbs of Melbourne.

  • Provide halal friendly food relief solutions to families and make meals that accomodate to dietary requirements

  • Run our Support Market, a community first event.

What we aim to achieve:

  • Expand the amount of meals we can serve the community

  • Host more community events for all locals

  • Rent bigger kitchens

  • Grow our capacity to host bigger Support Markets yearly

I just wanted to take a moment to say how incredibly helpful COOK4CALD’s services have been for both myself and my family. During a period of severe illness, I was unable to cook, and having access to their meals made such a difference in my day to day life.

The meals are always fresh, healthy, and genuinely enjoyable, which brought a sense of comfort during a really challenging time. It took a huge weight off not having to worry about preparing food while unwell.

I am incredibly grateful for COOK4CALD as they are such a valuable and much needed support within the community.

A heartfelt thank you to all the staff involved for the care and effort you put into what you do. Your kindness and care, the time taken to make a difference, goes far beyond words!
