Celebrate over local food
Traditionally we cater these events with delicious local food sourced from around the Illawarra. Due to the virtual setting this year, we’re encouraging participants to visit the local food and ethical shopping directory on the Food Fairness Illawarra website and gather local snacks and drinks to enjoy on the night.

Achieving Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger is more than just addressing hunger and the responsibility doesn’t only lie with governments. We all have a role to play, from making food choices that improve both our health and that of our food system, to not letting sustainable habits fall by the wayside. There are many opportunities to get involved in changing the food system together, so we look forward to connecting with you and embracing our actions as our future.
