Welcome to The Dish!
We are The Dish — a local Christian organisation dedicated to serving the Hornsby community with food, friendship, and inclusive support.
We:
-
Provide nourishing meals for up to 40 people every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday night, all year round.
-
Foster genuine friendships and create a welcoming, non-judgmental community for those experiencing vulnerability, isolation or homelessness.
-
Run our Community Food Care Program, rescuing fresh food from local supermarkets and bakeries that would otherwise go to waste, and stocking our Community Pantry to support those in need.
-
Welcome everyone without question — we don’t ask why people come to us; we’re simply grateful they do.
Looking for a meal?
If you would like a healthy, free meal, then you have come to the right place.
At 5:30pm Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, we will serve you a nourishing two course meal with a chat at 207 Peats Ferry Road Hornsby, St Peter's Anglican Church. Here we are on the map.
Need some help with groceries?
We rescue edible surplus and unsold food from 6 local supermarkets and keep a well stocked community pantry.
If you are or know of someone that is struggling and could use some assistance with groceries, fresh fruit & vegetables please register here. See our Food Care Program page for more information.
