Sunbury Neighbourhood Kitchen Inc

Sunbury Neighbourhood Kitchen (formally Rotary Club of Sunbury Family Community Kitchen)
The Sunbury Neighbourhood Kitchen operates at the Sunbury Neighbourhood House, Elizabeth Drive, Sunbury. The idea came from Neil Williams, local business owner / caterer who wanted to see the surplus food would go to a good cause and not to waste.

Currently, SNKI provides quality three course meals cooked and served by Volunteers, for no charge. We now serve on an average of 170 people each Monday. Some of our guests become volunteers. Some of our volunteers may also be in some need.

SNKI provides nutritional hot meals, where otherwise the guests may go without.
SNKI provides companionship, where otherwise isolation and loneliness may exist.
SNKI provides personal social growth, knowledge, caring and happiness, where otherwise depression might occur.

SNKI encourages community involvement, with various other community organisations taking part, perhaps supplying food or assisting on the night. Many of the volunteers are just residents of Sunbury who want to help others.

We have over 50 volunteers that cook, wash dishes, set tables, transport residents to and from their homes, and some that just come to have a chat with those needing to be listened to.

The volunteers are allocated a specific job and an opportunity to grow their skills in areas such as: food handling, hospitality and, of course, cooking, to name a few.

Funding for SNKI comes from grants, donations and fundraising.
To maintain the viability of SNKI, grants are continually being sought and donations are always welcome.
