Gailitis in 2021. The organisation provides nutritious meals, and feeds around 400 people each week through its free community fridge project. Gailitis said “I love getting to know the people in our community and helping to create a space where locals can feel safe and come together for a nutritious meal. Our patrons frequently express how much they appreciate the positive impact of our plant-based meals. For many, it is their first experience with plant-based food, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.” The program runs out of the kitchen at Chisholm Frankston. Gailitis said “using the kitchen at Chisholm at their Frankston campus as our base has enabled us to transport food to more locations, helping us feed even more people in need.” Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke visited the kitchen last week. He said “Project Fresh Start exemplifies the true spirit of community. Their commitment to providing nutritious meals, fostering inclusivity, and tackling food waste is a shining example of grassroots efforts making a significant impact. ” The community fridge can be found at 20 Young Street in Frankston.
