Donate

Welcome to a small, local experiment in solidarity and practical care.

Donations to this project help sustain community-based mutual aid in and around Hobart, with a focus on food rescue, shared meals, and material support for people doing it tough.

What Your Donation Makes Possible

Your contribution supports simple, everyday forms of care: rescued food cooked and shared, ingredients for community meals, basic supplies for people facing hardship, and the quiet logistics that make this work steady and reliable.

In practical terms, donations can help with:

getting surplus food from where it is not needed to where it is;

covering the small but essential costs that keep shared meals and food relief going;

providing material assistance and mutual aid when people or groups in the community need support;

supporting simple, low-cost activities that bring people together to cook, eat, learn, and organise.

How Funds Are Used

Funds are used as directly as possible for food, transport, basic materials, and other modest costs that make food rescue, shared meals, and material support workable in everyday life.

Paid roles are kept to a minimum, and any necessary coordination or administration is focused on enabling practical action, not building a large organisation.

This work is grounded in mutual aid and solidarity rather than charity: people share what they can, when they can, and everyone involved is treated as part of the community, not as a “case” or a “cause.”

Small Contributions, Real Impact

There is no minimum amount, and no expectation that anyone gives more than they comfortably can.

Small, steady contributions help keep things going: a bag of rescued vegetables cooked into a shared meal, fuel to collect food that would otherwise be wasted, or a simple food box that eases pressure for someone for a week.

No single donation is treated as a solution, but each one helps build a more reliable network of practical support over time.

Transparency

Funds are directed to current, verified mutual aid and food support activities connected to this project. Where possible, updates about ongoing work, priorities, and changes in need are shared openly so supporters can see the shape of what they are contributing to, without exaggeration or marketing spin.

If priorities shift or circumstances change, care is taken to keep the use of funds aligned with the same core aims: food rescue, shared meals, and material assistance rooted in community.

A Quiet Invitation

Not everyone can volunteer time, cook, or move food around town. Contributing money is one way to be part of the same work — sitting alongside the people who organise, cook, pack, lift, and wash up.

If you choose to donate, you are helping make sure that practical care — especially around food — is something we build together, rather than something left to chance.

Donate

If there is an existing donation form or link on this page, you can use it to make a contribution of any amount that feels right for you.

However you choose to be involved — donating, sharing food, showing up, or simply paying attention — you are part of a wider effort to make our communities kinder, more connected, and more able to look after one another.
