As we have already mentioned, ACC has been delivering meals to over 30 families during lockdown, utlising the broader food relief program led by the Darebin Neighbourhood House Network.

As things slowly open up and people can get themselves out and about, our weekly deliveries are dropping off. We’re expecting that this week will be our last run.

For those with an ongoing need for precooked meals or groceries, we are hooking them in to long running, well established existing food relief and broader support services in our community such as DIVRS and Your Community Health.

At ACC, we’ll be looking to resume food related activities in term 3 and 4. But we’re sorry to say that it looks like our community lunches will be on hold for a while.

Instead, we’ll be exploring some other models - such as morning tea out on the corner (weather permitting) - at least until social distancing rules are relaxed.

We’re currently working on a new program for next semester and we’ll be confirming all the details in the coming week or two.
