Volunteer Lasagna Chef

If you love to cook and believe that a delicious home-cooked meal can make just about any situation better, join the team at Lasagna Love! Lasagna Love is a national movement, with people all over Australia cooking and delivering meals to families in their communities. What we do is simple: feed families, spread kindness, and strengthen communities.

Our mission is not only to help address the significant rise in food insecurity among families but also to provide a simple act of love and kindness. Since we started, we have delivered over 1,000 lasagnas to families across Australia.

While we call our volunteers "lasagna chefs," there’s no need to be a chef to join us! We have plenty of recipes to get you started or, of course, you can use your secret family recipe. We all know the best lasagna is the one made with love.

There’s no set time commitment or minimum number of meals to cook. You decide how often you participate—once a month, once a week, or somewhere in between. You also choose how far you're willing to drive to deliver a meal. Our volunteers source the ingredients required and prepare the meals in their home kitchens. The Lasagna Love team takes care of matching you with a suitable neighbour in need.

We provide the training to get you started, which can be completed online at your own pace. You’ll also have a friendly, dedicated local leader to support you and answer any questions you might have.
