A NOURISHED WEEK

Chefs on Wheels and The Village Co. have teamed up to provide struggling mothers and their families with a week's worth of pre-made frozen meals delivered to their door at the most crucial time of their parenting journey, when they bring their baby home from hospital. As we all know, gifting a new mother a home cooked meal is the most helpful and heartwarming gift you can receive but the unfortunate reality for many new mothers is that they do not have the village of people around them who will or can do this for them. Vouchers will be supplied to women via The Village Co bags. Women will receive a beautiful gift box containing their voucher in their Village Co bag. The voucher provides an online code women will then use to redeem their food delivery. They will supply their name, delivery address and dietary requirements.

  • 60 ANW Packs.

The Benefits:

A Nourished Week will be available to all women who qualify to receive a Village Co bag in metro and rural South Australia. Women and families will be able to eat nutritious food to help them heal post birth as well as spend time with their baby and not be concerned about preparing meals while also easing the financial burden or food poverty. During this COVID-19 crisis, food shortages, reduced access to shops due to isolation and financial strain due to unemployment, providing food and meals to these families has a huge impact on the family at its very core.
