Food Distribution Network - fresh fruit & veg for people in need

I've just discovered the Food Distribution Network (FDN) - a not-for-profit community organisation that delivers boxes of fresh and inexpensive fruit and vegetables to people in need in the City of Sydney.

The aim is to assist people to remain healthy and live independently at home with the delivery of affordable, nutritious food.

The service is for older people needing assistance, people with disabilities and their carers and people living with HIV.

FDN buy fruit & veg in bulk from Sydney Markets at Flemington twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday. They're taken to Redfern where volunteers pack the boxes, and then staff deliver them.

I think that this is a fabulous idea. Does anyone know of other food services like this?

If you're interested in finding out more, phone them on 9699 1614 , or go to their website: www.fdn.org.au
