We have a story in the latest issue of Neighbourhood Media detailing all the work we do via Addison Road Food Pantry Camperdown, our low-cost grocery store which makes use of rescued, donated and purchased food to support the local community and its needs. The story (link below) shows how we help feed people from Mission Australia's Common Ground housing project and the nearby Johanna O’Dea Court, a multi-storey NSW Family and Community Services apartment block. It also explains how we serve people living on a tight budget in Camperdown and Glebe, as well as people who come to the pantry from right across the City of Sydney LGA. Most of all, the story is a celebration of our monthly Addi Road 'Let's Get Cooking' sessions (AKA "the Cook-Up"), which offers 260 free hot meals for Mission Australia and Joanna O'Dea residents, as well as those shopping at our Addi Road Food Pantry Camperdown. These sessions involve a monthly cooking demo inside the Common Ground building. Food literacy is the ultimate goal behind Addi Road's Let's Get Cooking program. As well as simply providing a free hot meal (and dessert) each month, we look at helping people to shop AND cook with often very limited funds. Each month there are easy recipes on offer (and ready to be tasted) along extra tips for stocking people's kitchen cupboards; a list of essentials to facilitate simple, inexpensive and nutritious recipes that will match whatever Addi Road Food Pantry might have in stock. It's about building an integrated food ecology for people battling. With a few extra special ingredients over a shared meal as the community comes together: camaraderie and connection. + #Addiroad #cityofsydney #foodrelief #foodjustice #housing #inequality #Camperdown #Glebe #MissionAustralia #homeless #battling #costofliving #poverty #resilience #mentalhealth #wellbeing #nutrition #diet #charity #community #freemeals #cookingworkshop #volunteers #caring #education #connection #letsgetcooking #neighbourhoodmedia https://lnkd.in/gs7vVEvM

I've come closer to choosing the perfect name for my mezcal label! While I can't reveal it just yet, it's all about spreading positivity. Read more about it in my newest blog update! #Mezcal #SpreadingLove #PositiveVibes #NewBeginnings #MezcalLovers #SocialImpact #StayTuned

Volunteering is defined as doing something for free. Most people think about volunteering as having to take time away from their day and spending it someplace such as helping the homeless, building a house for disabled vets, working at a local animal shelter. But did you realize that you can volunteer lots of ways? I volunteer for a non-profit company called Herdin Cats. This company helps reduce the local stray feline population by Trapping, Neuter, and Return (TNR). They start by trapping the cats, and taking them to a local vet clinic, where they receive a full check up, then a spay or neuter. Then Herdin Cats cares for the cats for the next few weeks while they recover from their surgery. Once the cats are strong enough they are returned to where they were trapped. This doesn't remove the cats from locations, but it does help prevent them from breeding and keeping the population under control. Herdin Cats on average TNRs 35 cats a month and the average cost of the each vet visit per cat is $100. They rely on donations to be able to meet these costs. While they will accept any donations that is offered, food, blankets, cages, your time to transport the animals. what they are desperately in need of is monetary donations. That is why this weeks volunteer moment for me is for me to ask you to spend $15 on a dozen Krispy Kream donuts. By utilizing the link below, you will buy a dozen glazed donuts from Krispy Kream, where 50% of the cost will be donated to Herdin Cats. you get a dozen donuts, and give a non profit a small donation. I am not asking you to buy 5 dozen, just one. One dozen will help chip away at the cost of each vet visit. I believe in the work that Herdin Cats is doing for the local community, that's is why I volunteer for them and support them in their mission.
