"Rockpool Dining Group launched Hope Delivery in March 2020, a much-needed community meal program in Sydney and Melbourne to feed international hospitality Visa workers, the homeless and disadvantaged who have been severely affected by the current pandemic.
To date, we have sent out over 110,000 meals across Sydney and Melbourne since we started in March 2020 and have raised in excess of $300,000 but need more to continue the work we have started. We feel that the vulnerable members of our local and international community are going to need our support for some time to come. It is our mission to raise money in order to continue to feed as many people as we can.
Backed by Rockpool Dining Group’s charitable arm, Rockpool Foundation, the meals are being prepared and distributed directly from Rosetta Sydney and Rockpool Bar & Grill Melbourne.
To deliver Hope, we assembled the head chefs, restaurant managers, waiters and an army of volunteers from our friends at Qantas, Stedmans Hospitality, HSBC to the wonderful individuals from around the community who have volunteered to work at Rosetta in Sydney and Rockpool Bar & Grill Melbourne, eager to help prepare and pack a range of nutritious meals each day and every week.
Other recipients of the Hope Delivery meal program include OzHarvest who work with the homeless and the underprivileged people in our community, women’s and children’s crisis centres and youth shelters who need our help and support more than ever.
Hope Delivery also gives support to Australia’s valuable fruit and vegetable growers as well as the restaurant industry’s beef, lamb, chicken and seafood producers who have been severely impacted by a slow in demand for their produce."
