Northern Beaches

One Meal Northern Beaches delivers food relief through weekly community meals, and a delivery programme getting fresh hampers and cooked meals directly to people referred by social service agencies and community groups.

We’re a 100% volunteer-run organisation, dedicated to meeting the needs of our community’s most vulnerable.

We offer free community meals every week at the following locations. These meal services are open to anyone in need.

  • Outreach Rough Sleepers

  • Mobile Soup Service for rough sleepers

  • ANZAC Village Narrabeen open pantry for veterans

Delivery Program

This program works closely with social services to reach those most in need—people who may otherwise “fall through the cracks” due to restricted mobility, mental health, family challenges, isolation, or cultural/language barriers.

From Monday to Thursday, our Delivery Program provides:

  • Fresh fruit & veggie hampers

  • Pre-cooked hot and frozen meals

  • Meat and bread

  • Pantry staples

  • Personal care packs

Social Services Referral Service

We work with 120 community support groups and organisations who can refer you to One Meal for food assistance, such as women’s shelters, hospitals, schools, Mission Australia and Bridge Housing.

Referral services include:

  • Hamper & fresh food deliveries – Monday to Thursday mornings

  • Hot meal delivery service – Monday & Wednesday evenings
    (This is a delivery service by referral only on the Northern Beaches)

One Meal Northern Beaches Compost Program

Turning surplus food into nourishing soil

Food that can’t be used at our warehouse on the Northern Beaches is turned into nutrient rich compost. This reduces waste and our environmental impact, and helps our communities grow food. It’s yet another way One Meal gives back to the local community.

How it works:

Fisher Rd School hosts 54 compost bins and four worm farms…and chickens. Cromer High hosts 25 compost bins. Integrated Unit students manage the system as part of sustainability learning. St Lukes Grammar School students attend weekly sessions, managing the system and learning about soil health and waste reduction. Young adults with disabilities with Up & Over attend weekly, working alongside other volunteers.

Kimbriki Resource Recovery Centre provides expertise and oversight, as well as ‘brown’ carbon material through Australian Native Landscapes. Royal Botanical Garden distributes some of the compost to community gardens and social housing projects across NSW so vulnerable communities can grow their own food.

Petstock supply large bags collected from customers who donate their empty pet food bags. These are used to collect and transport food scraps. Danes Coffee Roasters donate coffee husks for the compost and hessian bags for worm blankets.
