Community Co-Op Sutherland Shire

Our Sutherland Shire ‘Co-op’ program is run collectively by One Meal, Hopefield, Orana and Shire Salvos.

Our collaborative ‘Co-op’ model has enabled us to establish inward food supply that operates at a scale that makes the required logistical effort worthwhile, effective and impactful. It has also allowed us to approach wholesalers and large businesses for support. Similarly, the outward delivery of food to recipients utilises established charity distribution channels to reach the areas of most need across the community.

We also work to ensure referral mechanisms are in place with our partner charities to ensure community members accessing food through our program are also able to access additional services offered across the network – e.g. counselling, financial support, housing assistance, etc.

Some of the food relief organisations working with the Co-op to support families and individuals in need incude:

  • One Meal
  • Orana
  • Hopefield
