1 Million Meals
With a vision of scaling our impact to assist more people at risk of homelessness, Dignity’s ‘1 Million Meals’ project will see our Food Relief program expanded, distributing one million meals to people doing it tough around Australia.
Access to Food Relief
Dignity’s food relief meals are provided to partnering community centres around Australia and are a mix of ready made meals, generously donated by Youfoodz, and homemade meals, prepared by our ever-growing team of student, corporate and individual volunteers.
Recognising that food relief is just one of a number of services available to people who are doing it tough, Dignity’s food relief freezers are located within community-based organisations, where food relief recipients can be connected in with other available services to prevent homelessness from occurring.
Dignity now has 18 food relief freezers around Australia filled with meals for anyone in need in the community.

“These meals are like placing money in the bank for me. They are helping me and my family keep our home and keep going. And they taste Great!”
Thank You To Our Partners
After two impactful years of partnership, working together to make a difference, The Raine & Horne Foundation generously contributed $100,000 towards Dignity’s 1 Million meals project, which has enabled Dignity to progress on our journey to one million meals.
We simply could not support and empower the number of people we do without the support of Raine & Horne Foundation.
YouFoodz contributes 3,000 meals every month to Dignity’s Food Relief program. This partnership has enabled us to expand our Food Relief program nationally to support more people at risk of homelessness than ever before.
