HOT LUNCH trial

Waterbridge community pantry in need of funding

The Waterbridge Food Co-Op, which helps address the challenge of food security in our community by providing lowcost ready-made meals and hot lunches, is currently unfunded.

Since mid-2022, the Waterbridge Food Co-Op has produced more than 18,000 meals for the Brighton community. However they are in danger of having to close down due to a lack of funding which could see this service removed from our community at a time when many families are really doing it tough.

The pantry supports meaningful connections and reduces social isolation by reaching out to vulnerable members of our community. In addition to low cost healthy food and produce, they help the community by employing locals and training them in food handling and retail practices.

Up until recently, the Waterbridge Food Co-Op was supported by grants to keep the service going. While they are currently in talks with politicians and local services to help save Waterbridge Co-Op, they are reaching out to all in the community to help however they can. If you have a positive experience with the pantry, or want to get involved, contact Kylie on 0487 267 375 or email orders@ waterbridgefood.com.au.

The Waterbridge Food CoOp ready-made frozen meals and produce are available for purchase via their shop, Waterbridge Pantry, located at 191 Lamprill Circle Herdsman’s Cove, or by delivery. For more details, head to their website www.waterbridgefood.com.au.

We are going to be trialling Hot Lunches!! Lunches will be available every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, commencing on Tuesday 14th March Cost is $5 00 per meal and will be served at 12 30pm
