All Twogether - Celebrating Our Foundation Dinner 2024

All Twogether - Celebrating Our Foundation Dinner 2024

On the night of September 4th, we gathered at the incredible Machine Hall with some of our partners to share a meal, share a table, and harness the power of the collective.

OUR GOAL FOR THIS YEAR'S FOUNDATION DINNER
WAS TO RAISE $250,000, FOR 25,000 MEALS
DONATED TO WOMEN + CHILDREN LIVING IN CRISIS. 

The cost of living crisis is impacting everyone, but none more so than the incredible services that support women fleeing violence.

Each year, we donate 35,000 meals as messages of love and support to these women’s refuges and community services. Our donated meals also have twice the impact, as they also create employment and training opportunities for our Work Work program, as well as link women to our PATHWAYS tool.


ALL TWOGETHER, we raised $228,690 -
a whopping effort that we are beyond grateful for.

That's 22,869 Two Good meals that will be gifted into the community, filling the bellies (and hopefully, the hearts) of women and children who had no idea where their next meal was coming from.

Here were the takeaways of the night - and, of course, the many thanks that we owed to our community who rallied behind the cause and made this night such a success.

GOOD FOOD.

"I love that we are getting together tonight in what was once an electrical substation - because there are so many powerhouses in this room, and so much beautiful energy. A lot of that energy comes from our chef collaboration this year with the Fink Group, founded by Leon Fink in 1985 and built into a formidable force that has shaped Sydney dining into greatness...and we have an all star team of their top chefs in the kitchen right now."

Words from our long-term partner and ever-inspiring Do Gooder Jill Dupleix, who introduced the masters behind this year's feast. A huge thank you to all of our chef partners and food sponsors that helped us bring this night together, including:

  • Lennox Hastie and Swati Singh from GILDAS, for their Gildas and Basque cheesecakes
  • Rob Cockerill, Head Chef of BENNELONG, for his delectable canapes, including the most incredible prawn toast with chili aioli
  • Tim Mifsud and Troy Crisante, Co-Head Chefs of QUAY, for their beautiful salad of Ramarro Farm greens and brown butter potatoes with chestnut emulsion
  • Richard Ptacnik, Head Chef of OTTO Sydney, for his slow-braised lamb shoulder with gremolata
  • Baker Bleu, for their sourdough
  • Pepe Saya, for their butter
  • Vannella Cheese, for their ricotta
  • Sydney Direct Produce, for their fruit and vegetables
  • Two Providores, for extensive pantry staples
  • Joto Seafood, for their prawns and oysters
  • Parisi, for their lettuces
  • Newcastle Greens, for their flowers and micro herbs
  • Charlie Handler, of Handler Meat, for their lamb shoulders
  • And of course, the Two Good Co kitchen team, for the insanely delicious Vanella Ricotta entree and petit fours
