Impact
The three main pillars of Queer Food are to share queer* and trans* stories through food, improve trans* and queer* employment opportunities and to create a fund to go towards improving access to trans* medical care and to support other trans* or queer* ventures. On this page we will share our progress towards working towards our impact goals.
Queer Food Employment Training Program supported by the ACT Government Office of LGBTIQ+ Affairs
Queer Food has received the 2024 ACT Government Office of LGBTIQ+ Affairs, Capital of Equality Connection Fund Grant to run a a pilot Employment Training Program. The program is set to start in May 2024, our aim is to provide ongoing on-the-job training over a 6-month period and offer external training sessions focused on industry skills, inclusivity and confidence building within the hospitality industry.
Registration for the 2024 program has now closed.
Queer Food Impact Fund
We developed our Queer Food Impact Fund after extensive research. For every catering box, 5 canapés, retail item and meal at public events purchased, we donate $1 to our impact fund to go towards improving access to trans* medical care and to support other trans* or queer* ventures.
We will track how much we have donated here, and share more information about our impact, as it is established further.
