Food Literature Fire & Flood Appeal

The Children's Food Education Foundation is appealing for donations of food literature for distribution to schools, communities and families affected by the recent natural disasters in Australia.

Losing a favourite cookbook, gardening book or food magazine may not seem important when compared to the loss of a loved one, a home or a livelihood, but we know the simple acts of growing food, cooking and eating a meal together will serve to heal in their own special way.

We plan to aid the disaster relief by replacing food related books and magazines with either second-hand or new literature. Kennards are supporting us with free storage in Melbourne and Sydney so we can wait and deliver to communities when they are finally back in their vegetable plots and kitchens.

Thanks to the generosity of Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, ArtPlay and City of Melbourne you can deliver your donations to us during festival events as follows:
Sat 14 Mar Connex "Sizzle" near the Global Chargrill BBQ stage 12-5pm
Sun 15 Mar "Wicked Sunday" at the info tent on Fed Square 12-4pm
Fri 20 Mar ArtPlay, Birrarung Marr (behind Fed Square) 10am-12pm
Sat 21 Mar ArtPlay, Birrarung Marr (behind Fed Square) 9am-3pm

If you can't make it to the above locations, donations can also be dropped off at Kennards Storage, 159 Racecourse Road (enter via Stubbs St), Flemington from 16th March until further notice.

Or buy a book online and have it delivered direct to us at Children's Food Education Foundation PO Box 137 Benalla VIC 3671.
