Funding Success for Swan Hill!
Swan Hill Neighbourhood House is delighted to announce that we have secured $90,000 through the Victorian Government’s Community Food Relief Program – Local Grants to build a new kitchen extension.
The project will increase our capacity to prepare nutritious meals, make better use of rescued and donated food and deliver inclusive cooking and food literacy programs for community members experiencing food insecurity.
Working in partnership with Food for All - Swan Hill Region, the expanded kitchen will strengthen local food relief, create more opportunities for volunteers and support greater food security across our region.
Construction is underway and we are now seeking support from local businesses, community members and philanthropic partners to equip the kitchen and bring it into full operation.
Every contribution will help provide the equipment and infrastructure needed to make the kitchen operational and maximise its long term benefit to our community.
Tax-Deductible Donations
Tax-deductible donations can be made through our Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) auspice arrangement. If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution, please contact our office to arrange this:

Why It Matters
Our community kitchen will help us:
-
Increase access to nutritious, affordable meals
-
Build cooking skills and food literacy
-
Create opportunities for volunteering and community connection
-
Strengthen local food relief partnerships
Together, we can build more than a kitchen - we can create a stronger, more food-secure community.
A Neighbourhood House is just that – a house for the community to belong to. They are special because they are managed for, and by, the community. In other words, decision making on management policies and procedures is shared by the voluntary Committee of Management, course participants and workers at the centre. These, of course, are the people who best understand the diverse needs of their local community.
