You can donate in two ways

Penrith Community Kitchen is a community project staffed by coordinators and volunteers dedicated to ensuring that the people of Penrith and the surrounding areas all have a place where they belong. As a not for profit organisation run by volunteers, we exist through the generosity of individuals and local businesses. If you’re interested in donating, you can do so both with food and financially.

Donating financially

Large or small, every dollar helps keep the Kitchen running and fulfilling it’s mission in Penrith. All donations are tax deductable and go straight to enabling the work of the Kitchen.

• $600 pays for a weeks rent

• $1500 pays for a months food bill

• $3500 pays for a years worth of rubbish removal

Please consider partnering with us financially through either a one-off or regular donation. We also welcome fundraising efforts.

Donating food

We always need non-perishable items and food to cook larger quantity meals. If you’re interested in getting involved, consider holding a food drive with your school, office or family and friends!

Items of use include; pasta, sauces, noodles, rice, flour, oil, gravy, spices, tinned tomatoes, soup and vegetables or fresh, cake ingredients or mixes biscuits, poultry and fresh meats, dessert items to freeze, paper towel, chux and washing liquid, plastic takeaway containers.

To donate these items, drop them into the Kitchen at 100 Station Street, Monday to Friday, 11:30pm - 1:30pm.
