The Follow Bless Collective (FBC) was launched in June 2016 to support the Cardinia Shire community with meals and material aid.

Previously operating as a Food Van at Bourke Park in Pakenham, the Bless Collective has now moved to the Pakenham Hall inside the Pakenham Library complex for a sit down meal.The Community Meal aims to provide a hub for food and friendship for those in need in the local community. We provide meals for our guests as well as items such as clothing, toiletries and emergency food supplies.

Bless Community Meals are located at Pakenham Hall inside the Pakenham Library Complex (corner of John & Henry St) in Pakenham on Thursday evenings. Food is served from 5:45pm– 8pm.

Feel free to come along, say hello and see what the Bless Collective Community Meal is all about!

Check our calendar for exact dates.
