Food Access
This is an important programme that provides access to good quality fresh fruit and vegetables from our community garden. We also proudly support the Waterbridge Food Co-op. You can place your Waterbridge Co-op orders on their website here.
The Community Garden
The Chigwell Community Garden is located in Karambi Street. We manage the community garden with a group of dedicated volunteers. The Garden assists the local community to access fresh food when they are running low. At the moment we are working with Council to support new management of the site, we will keep you informed.
Meals
Bucaan Community House has a fantastic cook and team of volunteers who are involved in providing the community with access to healthy nutritious food. We have regular BBQ’s and meals (see our FB for details), and have meals attached to activities such as the youth group.
