What is a Food Host?
| Food Hosts are part of what makes the CERES Fair Food distribution system unique. Food Hosts are community minded folk – individuals, businesses or organisations – that provide a safe location (e.g. garage, lunch room, carport, school etc..) for us to drop off your food box and keep it safe until you arrive to collect it.When you become a member of CERES Fair Food, you can choose the most convenient Food Host location to you – it could be close to your home, place of work or even on a regular route you travel. Food Hosts will be opened for 2-3 hours on the day of your food delivery, usually in the evening, giving you plenty of time to collect your box.
The point of all this? Reducing food miles and connecting you to likeminded people in your neighbourhood, while all us to offer you the best value fresh organic food in Melbourne! We will be rolling out new Food Host pick-up points as demand increases from different areas around Melbourne. So if you decide that it’s too far for you to go to pick-up your box right now, then please signup for our newsletter and we will let you know when there is a Food Host starting up in your area. |

Becoming Food Host
Food Hosts get to be a part of a national movement that really makes a difference and will challenge the current conventional food system. We are interested in people who are passionate about local, healthy food and supporting the farmers who produce it. In return we offer reduced cost food boxes (25% off your box) and all the support you will need.
If you or the organisation you work for are interested in potentially becoming a Food Host and have a safe location for us to regularly drop-off our food boxes then please email foodhosts@ceresfairfood.org.au
