Welcome to The Lasagne Community

At The Lasagne Community, we believe that small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

We are a group of volunteer cooks that are  dedicated to connecting people through compassion, generosity, and the simple gift of a home-cooked meal. Our mission is simple – to bring people together to support one another during life’s challenges.

We are an independent Australian not for profit community organisation and a registered Australian Charity.

We connect volunteers with individuals, families, and community members who could benefit from a helping hand, whether they are experiencing financial hardship, illness, isolation, grief, overwhelming life circumstances, or simply need to know that someone cares.

More than just delivering meals, we are building connections, strengthening communities, and creating opportunities for people to support their neighbours in meaningful ways. Every meal shared is a reminder that no one has to face difficult times alone.

Our volunteers prepare and deliver homemade lasagnes and other acts of kindness directly within their local communities, creating moments of comfort, friendship, and hope across Australia.

Whether you’re seeking support, looking to volunteer, or wanting to help us make a difference, you’re welcome here.

Together, we’re building a stronger, kinder, more connected community.

What our volunteers say

Knowing that I am helping my community one lasagne at a time is pretty special. I have been able to combine my love of cooking and wanting to help others – this is the perfect way to give back.

Having made nearly 30 deliveries now , I never fail to get a thrill seeing the joy on stranger’s faces receiving a nice meal with no strings attached . It’s my simple way of “giving back ”

MEMary E, Volunteer

It’s a really easy way to help someone – I always make one for us for dinner at the same time. It takes just as much time to make one lasagne as it does to make two.

Wanting to give back to my community, I found the perfect fit. TLC allows me to help others by doing what I love, preparing home cooked meals with and spreading kindness one lasagne at a time. I’ve received some beautiful messages from my matches, telling me what it meant to them to receive such kindness, and I’m so grateful to be part of this wonderful community of TLC volunteers.

Love the idea of ‘giving & assisting’, doing something I enjoy…..cooking

LMLaraine M, Volunteer
I was looking for volunteering opportunities to give back to my community but needed something that I could fit into my busy schedule while working fulltime and studying part time.
TLC is as flexible as you want it to be for your schedule and provides the opportunity for you to see your contribution benefitting your community in real time.
