A Warm Welcome to Winter Feasts
In Melbourne, Free to Feed is making waves. Their popular Winter Feasts are back. This social enterprise empowers refugees and asylum seekers. Responding to popular demand, they’ve now extended their Winter Feast program from July to August.
A Feast for All
Every Thursday from 6pm, Free to Feed’s North Fitzroy space transforms. It blossoms into a hub of diversity and shared food experiences. These dinners actively celebrate the rich cultures of the refugee community. They provide a chance for everyone to appreciate their talents and stories.
More Than Just a Meal
Each Winter Feast is not just a meal. It’s a story told through food. It showcases the talent and passion of refugees and asylum seekers. But there’s more. Each feast creates over 300 hours of employment experience. Free to Feed provides a supportive work environment. This initiative actively helps break the sense of social isolation for new arrivals.
A Taste of Home
Each Winter Feast ticket is priced at $60pp ($50pp concession). It offers a taste of the participants’ homeland. Countries range from Ukraine to Sri Lanka, and Latin America. Each feast is a labour of love. Participants actively share their heritage and unique style of cooking.
A Persian Feast and More
The Persian and Egyptian feasts have sold out. However, due to high demand, an extra date for the Persian feast has been added. Meanwhile, the Latin feast, a mix of Colombian and Brazilian flavours, is now on the 31st of August.
