Participant Testimonials
Huweida – “Fridays are good. It is good to have customers and to share my recipes. I am making friends too. I am very happy.”
Abebea – “I am happy to make friends and to learn new food, to have communication with others including people who are in my English class but now they are my friends.”
Delivery of boxes around Hobart and surrounding suburbs is being supported by the Glenorchy District Football Club and its community partners. The packing of boxes is supported by MRC Tas volunteers.
This project has received some great support from the community already, and it has been wonderful to see so many organisations collaborating on this. However, more donations are needed to meet demand.
The food boxes contain healthy, nutritious, and where possible, culturally appropriate food, intended for cooking in a home kitchen.
A donation of $50 will provide a food box, the average contents of which will last for approximately 10 days.
Donations will assist in the purchase of ingredients and packing of boxes. Donations for the Food Box program can be made by visiting: www.givenow.com.au/mrctas-foodboxes
The MRC Tas Food Box Program was initiated with support from the Jetty Foundation and the Rotary Club of North Hobart.

We have had many participants at our function today, ask us, who supplied the catering, and we gladly advised them who to contact if they required catering themselves.
Could you please pass on our thanks to all those staff and helpers, at the migrant resource centre, who helped deliver today’s catering – and say we thought it was wonderfully presented (you eat with your eyes too) and let them know it was delicious!”
