Support people from refugee and asylum seeking backgrounds thrive in the next chapter of their lives
Every donation helps us to support more people from refugee and asylum seeking backgrounds to receive training, employment and support through our Leadership, Empowerment and Communication Program
It’s more than just a cooking class.
Each year, new faces join Free to Feed’s flagship Empowerment, Communication, and Leadership program. Thanks to the funds raised through our Cooking Experience Classes, we can continue growing these programs, giving refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers in Australia the chance for paid professional development in communication, leadership, and self-care. Through our classes and events, participants also gain paid opportunities to share their food and stories with the community.
Working alongside our expert team, participants create menus and recipes from their own traditions, which you get to enjoy when you attend an experience. Your participation supports more than just training—it allows each instructor to share a piece of their culture, fostering acceptance and belonging.
So far, Free to Feed has provided over $2,000,000 in wages and over 11,000 hours of paid training. We look forward to welcoming you to enjoy delicious food and amazing stories.
Free to Feed is a social enterprise creating empowering employment opportunities for people seeking asylum and refugees through the creation of shared food experiences.
We give gratitude to Elders, past and present, for their spirit, strength and wisdom, as sovereign custodians of the world’s longest continuous culture. It is an honour to live on their Country, as a community of visitors and migrants both old and new. We pledge our support towards truth telling, opening our hearts and minds to listening, learning and connecting – in solidarity with First Nation Peoples here in Australia and around the world.
