Together we create lasting impact and meaningful change.
No child should go to
school without a meal
Every day, children arrive at school without food. We work with our community to prepare and
deliver healthy meals directly to local schools – so children can learn, participate, and feel included.
Our mission is to ensure no child goes hungry or unsupported by mobilising community resources
to deliver food, care, and early intervention that will keep children safe, nourished, and engaged.
Information required for Google
We apologise to our supporters; however, Ada of the Google Workspace team has requested rigorous proof that the domain thevillage.org.au does, in fact, belong to our association, The Village Care Network Inc.
Despite not being a Charity, the Charity ID assigned by them is 43929133134 for Google Workspace Support Case 71023897 and Case ID 3-9728000041583 / Case ID 2-3642000040852 for the Google Nonprofit Team.
Furthermore, Mounika and Sai from The Google for Nonprofits Team have requested that all AI-generated images (including our logo, which was created with assistance from Google AI tools) be removed from our website. Sai would also prefer that we use photographs featuring real children before they activate our email account.
At this time, the Google for Nonprofits Team and the Google Workspace Team are disabling our access every week, so we may be missing emails. We’ve tried to pay for the service and have simply sought to resolve the issue, but if this continues, the risk of jeopardising the health and safety of the community we strive to serve will increase, and we will be forced to relocate.
Meals delivered every week (and growing)
Children are still arriving at school without meals.
Every contribution helps us respond - quickly, practically, and with care.
A meal can restore confidence, focus, and a sense of belonging.
Hunger shouldn’t be part of a school day.
Support that starts with food
We collect, prepare, and deliver healthy meals to schools – so children can learn without going hungry.
Each meal is made possible by community support and delivered directly to local schools by volunteers.
Prepared with care. Delivered with purpose.
The Village is supporting children across local schools and growing as our community grows.
Transforming hope into action
We collect donated food and financial support, prepare healthy meals, and deliver them directly to local schools through a network of volunteers. Our approach is simple, responsive, and focused on real outcomes, ensuring support reaches children quickly, safely, and with dignity.
Why it matters
Food insecurity affects more than hunger. It impacts a child’s ability to concentrate, participate, and feel included. By ensuring children have access to food at school, we help create stability, support wellbeing, and give every child the opportunity to learn without disadvantage.
Whether you donate, volunteer, or partner with us, your support helps ensure no child goes without.
Who we are
The Village Care Network Inc (The Village) is a community-led, not-for-profit organisation supporting children experiencing food insecurity.
The Village works closely with Schools, Volunteers, Food suppliers, Local supporters and sponsors. Together, we form a network of care that responds directly to the needs of children in our community.
We provide practical, immediate assistance, ensuring children arriving at school without meals receive the nourishment and support they need to engage in their education with confidence.
