Queer Food tells LGBTQIA+ stories through food, creates jobs for queer and trans people, and is building a social impact fund to improve access to gender affirming care.
We provide safe, affirming jobs and hands-on training for LGBTQIA+ people, creating pathways to thrive, not just survive, in the workplace.
Currently, three staff members are helping shape the future of Queer Food.
The Queer Food Impact Fund was created to improve access to gender-affirming care for trans and gender-diverse people. We currently donate 1% of our trading revenue and are working towards contributing 50% of our profits.
We’ll track and share donations here, along with updates as the fund grows. If you’d like to donate directly, you can do so below.
Donate to support the work that we do. Your donations will go to improve access to gender affirming care and support other queer ventures. We are so grateful for your support.
However, please note that as we are not a registered charity, the donations are not tax deductible.
Sustainability is a core part of our business and it is something that we will always continue to work on. For now, we have seven main ways we are trying to reduce our impact on the environment:
We only order what is needed for each event and manage stock so that we do not have excess that may go off.
We focus on building relationships with local suppliers who are able to provide us with the best quality sustainable food.
We donate our leftover food to Folk House, an ACT social housing initiative that supports LGBTQIA+ people experiencing housing insecurity.
We aim to source the most ethical and environmentally friendly packaging available. All our packaging is either home-compostable, industry compostable, recyclable, or reusable.
We have chosen to be gas-free. Our food trailer is run completely on electricity to reduce our use of fossil fuels and our greenhouse gas emissions.
We are also hoping to one day run the trailer of solar generators, but for now, that is a future dream.
