Meet Bendigo Foodshare, another incredible partner in our Food Subsidy Pilot Project! 🌱 This week the lovely Meg takes us on a tour of the Grow Cook Share Food Hub, showing us how community members are accessing fresh food using their vouchers. 🍎 Their approach is all about collaboration – working with local producers, young people, and multicultural communities to build an inclusive food system that benefits everyone. Through their new Food Hub, Golden Gums Farm market garden, and various community initiatives in schools and community houses, they're creating multiple touchpoints for people to connect with nutritious food. 🥕🥬🍅 What makes @bendigofoodshare special is how they've co-designed their programs with the community, ensuring they meet local needs. The voucher system has seamlessly integrated into their operations, empowering more people to access fresh, healthy options! If you're in the Bendigo area, we recommend stopping by their farmer's market. You'll be supporting local producers, strengthening community bonds, and enjoying delicious, sustainable food all at once!We have linked their market calendar in Open Food Network Australia's link in bio, where you can also find more information on the pilot project! 👆 #FoodSubsidyPilot #CommunityFood #LocalProduce #FoodAccess #GoodFoodForAll #CityOfGastronomy (fb)
