Welcome to
Om Bhandara
Om Bhandara Ltd is a registered charity based in Melbourne’s western suburbs, dedicated to fighting food insecurity and supporting vulnerable communities. Since 2020, our volunteers have provided emergency food relief to thousands of people doing it tough — migrants, international students, seniors, and families impacted by the cost-of-living crisis. As a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) and Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) endorsement, donations to Om Bhandara Ltd of $2 or more are tax-deductible.
What We Do
Our volunteers prepare and distribute free meals using fresh, donated produce sourced through partnerships with local food banks, Indian grocery stores, and farmers. Our caterer cooks with seasonal ingredients to create nutritious meals, while donated non-perishable items are packed into culturally appropriate food hampers for families in need.
Dedicated and trained volunteers ensures meals are prepared and served efficiently, safely, and with care.
Our Mission
To ensure no one in our community goes hungry — by providing free, nutritious, and culturally appropriate meals and food relief to those experiencing hardship, with dignity, compassion, and respect.
