1 Million Meals Project

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.

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’s Food Relief program not only eases the financial burden of putting food on the table, but it also connects people with additional support. At a time when living costs are challenging for many people, this is a critical step in homelessness prevention..”

Suzanne Hopman, Dignity CEO

The Raine & Horne Foundation has generously contributed $100,000 towards this ambitious project, which has enabled us to progress further on our journey to 1 Million meals.
