ABOUT US
WHO ARE WE.
WHO IS TONY?
We're Tony’s Community Kitchen. We are made up of over 150 volunteers who donate their time to prepare, cook and serve nutritious meals 7 nights a week, 365 days a year to those in need in the Toowoomba and Darling Downs Region.
From a young age, Tony has been helping people within the community. A Wilsonton boy growing up in a single-parent family, Tony loved his community and for many years has been involved with the homeless and at risk of homelessness.
Tony had been providing pies, sausage rolls and cooking a BBQ using park facilities for people in need two nights of the week. Easter Sunday 2020, the opportunity arose to get the community involved and with this help, a registered charity was formed, of which Tony is the founder.
Tony’s Community Kitchen is now able to provide nutritious meals, made by a community of schools, clubs and families, 7 nights a week, 365 nights of the year.
OUR MISSION
Make sure no one goes without a meal.
