Host a Community Table

Food brings people together. It can also be a catalyst for change. At the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation, we think sharing a meal can have a positive impact on people’s health, wellbeing, and the planet. Which is why we're launching the Community Table during this year’s national Kitchen Garden Week, 17-21 October.

It’s an opportunity for schools and services to raise valuable funds to invest in their kitchen garden programs. Individuals, workplaces, and community groups can also join in, supporting the work of the Foundation in giving children and young people the tools to build a better food future.

Register your school or service

Regardless of how you choose to take part, we’ll provide plenty of tips and resources to make sure your Community Table is a success. For schools and services, that might mean ideas for hosting a school fête, fair, or market stall, and templates you can use to bring your own unique fundraising activity to life.

For individuals, we’ll provide everything you need to host an amazing lunch or dinner – including a digital platform to track your progress, menu templates, and special recipes to serve your guests.

The Community Table is a fun way to connect with people. But it’s also an opportunity to address some serious problems – like the health, sustainability, and food security problems facing the next generation of Australians. By taking part, you’ll be giving children and young people the skills to take care of themselves, each other, and the planet, all through the power of good food.
