Big-hearted locals help Feed Me Surf Coast find new home

A much-loved Torquay food rescue charity has officially opened its new home after five years at its original base.

Feed Me Surf Coast has relocated to 3/22 Cylinders Drive, Torquay, marking a major milestone for the organisation, which has served more than 55,000 visitors annually and saved more than 350,000kg of food from landfill.

The move would not have been possible without the extraordinary support of local tradespeople, families and businesses who volunteered their time, services and skills to bring the new space to life.

Feed Me Surf Coast extended heartfelt thanks to:

• Meaghan and Chris Lahiff from Surfcoast Electrics

• Lucas Anderson from LA Plumbing

• Jack and Nathan Diamond Ferris and Julius from Torquay Cutting Locksmiths

• Aaron Nesbitt from Aaron Nesbitt Constructions

• Ben McNamara from Ben McNamara Building

• Emma Jackman and Brian Currie from Currie Tiling

• Isaac Tomlinson from Tomcon Plastering and Construction

• Steve Holland from Steve Holland Glazing

• Angus and Tony Smythe from Loci/Tony Smythe Building

• The team from AAC Heating and Cooling

• Amy Ritchie from National Tiles

• Jarrod Kerr from Kerr’s Hire

• Justin and Jim Humphrey from McCanns Plumbing

• Steve Ivill from Middys Electrical

• Jason Currie from Surfcoast Balustrading

• The Torquay Football Club

• The Liuzzi family

The new premises continues to offer a dignified, community-driven food rescue service where locals can access quality food in a welcoming space.
