Cooking every day can be a challenge, especially for those who are elderly, live alone, have mobility issues, demanding jobs, or simply prefer not to cook.
This is not a profitable commercial venture but a community-focused initiative, with most costs covering ingredients, packaging containers, labelling printer, ink & label reel costs, food license fees, a new freezer and running expenses, utilities, and a small contribution to labour. Our goal is to make nutritious, homemade meals accessible to those who need them while keeping prices as low as possible. This initiative is about supporting our local community, ensuring that everyone has access to wholesome, affordable food.
Why Community Meals Matter in Our Rural Town
In our small rural community of around 900 residents, access to affordable, nutritious meals is more important than ever. With the rising cost of living, many people are struggling to balance expenses, and the price of fresh, quality ingredients continues to climb. Cooking every day can be a challenge, especially for those who are elderly, live alone, have mobility issues, demanding jobs, or simply prefer not to cook.
Our Frozen Budget Community Meals aim to fill this gap by providing wholesome, homemade meals at an affordable price, ensuring that everyone—regardless of their circumstances—has access to nourishing food. Whether it’s for convenience, health, financial reasons, or simply needing a break from cooking, these meals offer a simple, budget-friendly solution for our local community.
This initiative is not about profit—it’s about supporting our town and ensuring that good food remains accessible to those who need it most.
