Penrith Community Kitchen Incorporated
Penrith Community Kitchen Incorporated is an Australian nonprofit organisation that provides free meals and support services to individuals experiencing homelessness, financial hardship, or social isolation in the Penrith region of New South Wales. Established in 1994 as the Penrith Soup Kitchen, the charity operates Monday to Friday, offering cooked lunchtime meals in a community-oriented environment[1][2][3].
History
Founded in July 1994 by Lifeline and a coalition of volunteers including Cathy Craig, June Woolard, and Reverend Alan Jackson, the organisation initially operated from Worth Street, serving 40–90 meals daily[2]. After a temporary closure in 1996 due to funding shortages, it reopened in 1997 at Calkerinos Arcade with community and government support[2]. In 2011, the kitchen relocated to its current premises behind PCYC Penrith following a $40,000 fundraising effort, enabling expanded services[2].
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the kitchen adapted its operations to continue meal provision while adhering to public health guidelines, reinforcing its role as a critical community service[5].
Activities
The charity provides free, nutritious lunches to approximately 100 individuals daily, focusing on vulnerable groups such as the elderly, unemployed, and low-income earners[1][3]. Additional initiatives include supplying breakfast programs and emergency food relief to local schools[1]. A 2024 initiative, not further detailed in public records, marked the organisation’s continued evolution in addressing food insecurity[2].
Governance
As a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), Penrith Community Kitchen Incorporated relies on volunteer efforts and community donations[3][4]. Its operations are sustained through partnerships with local businesses, government support, and corporate volunteering programs[1][2].
