Get Involved

The work of The Dish is an inspiring example of how our local community comes together to serve others.

There are many ways you or your organisation can get involved — from volunteering your time, donating food or resources, to supporting our programs and initiatives.

Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those experiencing food insecurity and isolation.

Volunteer

Tell us about your church, community group, or organisation and when you’re available.

We also welcome students who wish to complete DoE/Community Service volunteer hours — there are a variety of ways to get involved, from helping in the kitchen and serving meals, to assisting with our Food Care Program.

Join us and make a positive impact in your community!

Donate

As a non-profit community organisation, we deeply appreciate your generosity — whether through financial contributions or donations of non-perishable food for our Community Pantry.

Every donation, big or small, helps make a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable members of our community.

Financial donations over $2 to The Dish are tax-deductible, making it easy to support our mission of providing food, care, and connection to those in need.  Learn more.
