Free to Feed

Overview

Free to Feed is a not-for-profit social enterprise in the heart of Thornbury that aims to empower people seeking asylum, refugees and new migrants through food-oriented initiatives within an inclusive community.

The space offers regular community cooking classes led by asylum seekers, refugees and those seeking protection in Australia. The food you'll discover is as diverse as the people showing you how to prepare it and offers an insight into different cultures through the universal language of food.

Free to Feed also works with industry professionals to offer training, mentorship and support to refugees and people seeking asylum, providing employment pathways as well as opportunities to create networks and build communication skills.
