Multicultural cooks educate food-relief agencies after COVID struggles – Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District

Culturally and linguistically diverse women are working to educate food relief agencies about traditional cooking.

During Shepparton’s COVID outbreak in September, many CALD families threw out food relief packs, or gave them away.

Food relief deliveries often contain western foods that CALD community members can struggle to use in traditional cooking.
