Cooking Connections
Cooking Connections is a meal sharing program that introduces people who like to cook and connect with others to older isolated diners in our community. Volunteer cooks deliver a serving of their regular home-cooked meal and enjoy a short chat with their diner.
Deliveries can be weekly, fortnightly or even monthly – whatever works best for you and your diner.
For older residents, receiving a home-cooked meal and having a conversation with a volunteer can create connection, ease feelings of isolation and have a positive impact on mental health.
Volunteer cooks can enjoy knowing they’ve contributed to other’s wellbeing through sharing their meals. A great return on a small investment!
