Why not get your children involved in the COMMUNITY?
Using our kitchens, your kids are able to bake all sorts of goodies that they then deliver to sick children in hospitals. Not only do your children get to have a great time cooking and LEARNING, but they also get to bring a smile to another child’s face.
You are giving your child the opportunity to perform a GOOD DEED
and be charitable while letting them grow and develop.
You are teaching your kids a sense of charity and reaffirming POSITIVE VALUES within
themselves while brightening the day of another child.
ALL CHILDREN ARE OUR CHILDREN IN OUR BIG KITCHEN!
Book your next birthday party at Our Big Kitchen.
There is a range of children's party packages to choose from.

Make friends fast ...
Make friends fast ...
Help us reduce social isolation!
“Dying alone is more common than we think or like to accept in our
modern society.” It’s not hard to get lost in all the hustle and bustle
of the big city, to find yourself ALONE and DISCONNECTED.
It may not have even crossed your mind that this happens.
Take a minute to think of the people you know –
are any of them lonely, isolated, not really finding
their feet in the world?
Do you know your NEIGHBOURS?
How about your CO-WORKERS?
These people may not have the social
security that you do, so why not help
them out and TELL THEM
ABOUT US!
We offer a great way for those in need
of FRIENDS and SOCIAL
SUPPORT to meet, interact and have
a wonderful time too.
In a fun, exciting and creative
environment, you won’t have any trouble
finding new and INTERESTING
PEOPLE TO CHAT WITH.
THERE’S NO BETTER PLACE
TO MAKE FRIENDS THAN
IN OUR BIG KITCHEN!

Welcome to Our Big Kitchen
We invite you to help yourselves, each other and your communities.
We are a community kitchen, which feeds the soul and the stomach.
The Basic Cook-in:
This is the program for general volunteering. A 'cook-in' is when a group of enthusiastic volunteers come in for a few hours regularly to help chop, cook, pack and generally keep the whole program ticking along.
The ingredients are sourced by Our Big Kitchen. The food prepared is added to a ‘pool’ of food for distribution. Individuals or groups can then purchase this food for a nominal charge (just enough to cover the cost of ingredients and over-heads).
There will also be variations to this.
- the ‘cook-in’ group may be an already established group who are members of one of our constituent organisations;
- the food prepared may be served cafeteria-style;
- companies may provide a ‘corporate social responsibility’ opportunity to their staff (and may pay for the privilege);
- volunteers may produce meals for a specific cause with the food prepared given as a gift to a particular group of people (and may pay for the privilege)
- people may prepare food for friends or family for a particular cause (eg celebration) funding the ingredients themselves.
