The Saturday lunch program at Centre 440 in Hawkesbury has served 1,500 meals in 22 weeks since its launch in November, exceeding organizers’ expectations. Offered at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, the service provides weekly hot meals to vulnerable and low-income people, primarily through the recovery of unsold food from local partners. Officials emphasize that the program is not just about food: it also creates a place of support and social connection, while providing access to other community services. Supported by volunteers and donations, the project continues to grow and seeks to ensure its sustainability thanks to stable funding.
