Who We Are

We are a food bank in Sydney committed to helping tackle the food insecurity and hunger crisis in Australia.

We cook free meals daily for people in our community who are struggling to access fresh, nourishing food on a regular basis. We have made and donated over 300,000 meals since we commenced operations in 2021.

RecipeTin Meals is a not-for-profit organisation managed and funded by Sydney-based online recipe publisher, RecipeTin Eats. RecipeTin Eats is owned and run by Nagi Maehashi alongside her trusty golden retriever side-kick, Dozer.
