This is normally where we share the details of our Friday Food Safari menu but this week is a bit different. We’re currently responding to an increase in community members having to self-isolate due to the closure of several businesses and schools. So we’ll be donating all of this Friday’s meals to support multicultural families in isolation.

If you can, you can donate a meal to someone in need via our website (https://lcms.org.au/fridayfoodsafari-2/). A big thank you to our regular patrons – we’ll be back soon with some delicious offerings for your Friday! 😊

Dear Food Safari Family,

As you are aware, we are in a difficult and delicate time. In this time, we are taking the health, safety and well-being of you, our loyal customers, the broader community and ourselves, very seriously.
With COVID-19 at the forefront of topic, myself and everyone else at Multicultural Services are taking a number of steps to safe-guard the health and safety of community around us.
I have been liaising with our local environmental health officer from the City of Greater Bendigo, to gather any material that may further help us maintain a safe and hygienic workspace, more than we already do.
On arrival for your meal pickup, please enter the ‘The Old Church on the Hill’ feast space hall from Russel St. There will be hand sanitiser at the front, please use before entering. We also have signs up providing guidance for entry and exit doors only. Follow the distance marker tape on the floor, keeping enough space between each individual. Make your way inside the hall until you come to the pickup station. Card only method will allow contactless payment for everyone, so please don’t forget your credit/debit card. Once collected, please continue to follow social distancing to the exit only door and your way home with a meal and a community online dinner date.

Thank you for your support from everyone at food safari, LCMS and those in the community who you are making a difference for.

Stay Safe, Keep Smiling & Be Kind To Each Other xx
