Making the connections between food relief, wraparound services, community and well-being at Addi Road’s Wednesday Night Lights.

At the heart of our community is Carol, a dedicated volunteer whose passion for sustainability and helping others led to the creation of A Stitch in Time—a free mending program run through Addi Road. With a simple yet impactful mission, Carol provides anyone in the community with the opportunity to bring in clothing that needs minor alterations, mending, or patching, giving well-loved garments a second life instead of letting them end up in landfill.


Every month at Common Ground in Camperdown, Addi Road’s Food Pantry Cook-up brings the community together for a day filled with good food, warm company, and much-needed support.

Addi Road is on the frontlines of food relief, cost-of-living pressures and ‘the hunger monopoly’. This is a little of what we do and what we struggle with as the pressures continue to intensify.

Our 1st Anniversary for Wednesday Night Lights. Kicking off last winter, we’ve lit a little fire that has kept the community warm and connected for the last year – and all of us at Addi Road equally inspired.
All quiet on the Inner West front this Sunday morning. By tomorrow Addi Road Food Pantry Marrickville and our sister store cum food pantry in Camperdown will be stocked and ready for another week.
Here’s a little snapshot of Addi Road on a Sunday morning just a few weeks ago. So many people who use the centre and come to visit. A true community hub.
At Wednesday Night Lights many good spirits gather. Brian is one of those people whose life gets ever-longer and more interesting the more you stand around talking to him. A soft and happy presence, he radiates good will wherever he goes.
