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.

Each year on 17 September it is Australian Citizenship Day. Addi Road Community Organisation was honoured to welcome Tony Burke MP and over 200 people to take part in their citizenship ceremony in Sydney today – as well as celebrate the 75th anniversary of the ceremony as a vital part of Australian life.

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.
