The Big Umbrella Foundation

YS Melbourne cook for Melbourne's marginalised communities.

Feed Melbourne is a free, family-style pop-up restaurant at Federation Square in Melbourne, Australia, that provides nutritious meals from rescued food to the homeless and marginalized communities. It is run by The Big Umbrella Foundation, a non-profit organization that aims to reduce food waste, alleviate food insecurity, and combat loneliness. 

Last week, our team in Melbourne joined forces with The Big Umbrella Foundation and prepped meals in MG's Kitchen using salvaged food, transforming 500kg of rescued produce into 343 nutritious meals.

After a busy morning of prepping, chopping, and cooking, they took to the streets at Federation Square to serve those in need. 

Thanks to The Big Umbrella Foundation for welcoming our team as volunteers on their team community day.
