Supporting Food Relief and Services in Richmond

A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will provide Cultivating Community with a $60,000 grant to continue to provide their excellent service to people across Richmond.

Cultivating Community does so much work for our community, whether it be education workshops, providing much-needed food relief or tending to community gardens for public housing residents.

Their important work provides nutritional food for locals and opportunities to bond over shared passions for gardening and food.

We’ll make sure community organisations are well equipped to help local families and members of the community ensuring every Victorian gets the help and support they need when they need.

The Andrews Labor Government has always delivered on what matters for local communities, ensuring neighbourhoods have accessible wellbeing and support services close to home, and local community organisations have the support they need.

Labor is doing what matters – backing the important community organisations that help us all.

"When Matthew Guy’s Liberals were last in power, Victorians in need were ignored with four years of inaction. And if given the chance, that is what they will do again."
