Every year we are lucky enough to have Monash University students help us out at the markets and with our yearly impact evaluation. We think this is a great opportunity for students to learn more about food insecurity and health promotion in a community setting. This year we had the help of Sandra, Clair, Jenny and Gabby, who did a fantastic job down at the markets surveying customers and getting to know the community.

We are so grateful for all of the effort they have put into the evaluation and appreciate all the assistance they have provided at the markets.
This year we have been really focusing our efforts on rebuilding the social and community aspect of our markets after the Victorian lockdown restricted access to our social spaces and prevented socialisation.
Therefore, we are so proud that 86% of our customers still feel more connected to the community because of our markets even after this difficult year of distancing.
