Food Grants Program 2017

Applications are now CLOSED (25 November 2016).

This funding program is for projects and services run by local, not for profit organisations who provide food assistance to the people most in need in the North Sydney area.

Successful Food Grant Funding Projects for 2017 include:

Organisation Project 
Church by the Bridge  Healthy community lunches once per month to residents of Greenway 
The Kirribilli Centre Free weekly BBQ to disadvantaged and socially isolated members of our community
Parish of Our Lady of the Way  'Father Tony's Christmas Day Lunch' for people who would otherwise be alone on Christmas Day
Northside Baptist Church  The 'Love Crows Nest Breakfast' seeks to provide a high quality, free breakfast for members of the Crows Nest community - especially those members of the community who are vulnerable, needy, isolated, or homeless. The breakfast aims to create a safe, welcoming space where people from all backgrounds in our community can come together and build relationship.
Crows Nest Centre  Crows Nest Centre supplies festive hampers to older people and people with a disability, most of whom live alone. To achieve this we work in partnership with local schools and churches to gather festive food items for distribution. A willing band of volunteers then assists us to sort, allocate and package festive hampers. The aim is to share the Christmas spirit with people who are often on their own over the Christmas/new year period.
Phoenix House Youth Services Christmas is often a very challenging time for our marginalised young people. The Christmas dinner at Phoenix House is their only family function where they enjoy a special meal and participate in traditional activities like receiving gifts from Father Christmas, playing games and singing. The team at Phoenix House make a special effort to make this a memorable evening for our young people
