Meals with Impact: Meals with Impact is the brainchild of experienced Chef, Harris Ryan and Community Development Specialist, Nikki Blanch who witnessed first-hand the limitations of Victoria’s food relief system in providing culturally appropriate food during the pandemic.

Over 12 months they facilitated a local government program dedicated to creating culturally relevant food relief for local communities, whilst providing employment opportunities to women from migrant and refugee backgrounds . During this process however, they soon realised the issue was beyond adequate food relief, it was about addressing the systemic barriers women from these communities were facing in accessing good jobs in Australia.

“Too often, their incredible skills are overlooked. They speak multiple languages, they are resilient and adaptable, and compassionate and kind due to their migration experiences.

They are also incredible cooks with a rich tradition and culture to share. Our aim is that all future employers will recognise what an asset they are to any organisation.”

Together with our partners and supporters, they’ve now created a work-integrated social enterprise (WISE) that employs women from migrant & refugee backgrounds to co-design and produce culturally appropriate meals tailored for food relief and to the wider community.
