Food relief collaboration

The Sikh Community of South Barwon together with Indians in Geelong and South Barwon Cricket Club have come together again to launch a food relief initiative aimed at supporting individuals and families facing food insecurity.

This initiative seeks to address the growing need for food by those in need in the community, especially in light of recent economic challenges.

From now until Christmas, hundreds of meals will be delivered to Geelong Outpost and Feed Me Geelong, whose amazing volunteers are serving those in need.

The program, which kicked off in 2020, will distribute cooked meals containing essential staples and culturally relevant ingredients. Volunteers from the Indians in Geelong will be working to support Geelong Food Relief Centres to package and distribute food to those who need it most.

“We believe that no one should go hungry, especially in our own community,” spokesperson Sunny Dhaliwal said.

“Our goal is to ensure that everyone has access to healthy food options, and we are committed to making this a reality through collaboration and support. Together, we can make a difference. Join us in this vital effort to nourish our neighbours and strengthen our community.”

There are many organisations that provide food assistance in the local Geelong region. These initiatives not only focus on providing sustenance but also foster a sense of community, encouraging volunteers to engage in meaningful service.

Indians in Geelong have teamed up with the South Barwon Cricket Club to share kitchen facilities and volunteer resources to help out.
