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.

All things towards a great adventure. All things for and with our friends, the community we all share. Addi Road hit the highway to Canberra on Friday to be at the ceremony that saw Samantha Joy Mostyn sworn in as the 28th Governor-General of Australia.

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.

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.

Young people get it. Their grasp on social justice, equality and diversity is truly inspiring and nowhere was it more obvious than at Addi Road’s ARTivate youth festival, bringing together art and activism for a weekend packed with poetry and postcards, sketching, drawing, live music, good food and of course a dog or two.
