Love Through Lunch; A Festive Feast For Women + Children Living In Crisis.

“I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for the Love Through Lunch you so generously provided. Sharing a beautiful meal created a sense of comfort, dignity, and connection that went far beyond nourishment.

We are deeply grateful for your generosity and for the love and intention you brought to the day — your contribution made a meaningful difference.”

• Women’s Housing Service

At Two Good, we believe food is an act of love – and that everyone is equal around our table.

Over the 2025 festive season, our Love Through Lunch campaign brought this belief to life for a second year in a row, inviting corporate partners to sponsor shared meals, considered tablescapes and gifts for women and children living in crisis accommodation across NSW.

Together, we were able to serve up a 3-course feast for over 250 women and children across 11 shelters and refuges around Sydney.

Love Through Lunch is not about support from a distance; it's about presence. About dignity. About creating moments of connection at a time of year that can otherwise feel heavy, lonely or overwhelming.

Here are all the beautiful moments our community helped us create this Christmas.

What Is
Love Through Lunch?

Love Through Lunch is a festive initiative by Two Good that brings people together over a thoughtfully prepared, three‑course meal. Each lunch is designed as a complete experience, so that women and children can gather, relax and feel genuinely welcomed, through intentional elements like:

• Beautiful catering cooked with care by Two Good Co
• Considered tableware, including napkins, runners and serveware for services to keep, extending the memory beyond the day
• Much‑loved Battenbergs generously supplied by Rhiann Mead, adding a moment of joy and celebration to the table
• Live Christmas trees and beautiful floral arrangements graciously donated by Grandiflora, transforming spaces into places of warmth, beauty and festive care
• Fresh bread supplied by Baker Bleu, helping anchor each meal in generosity and craft
• Beautiful cultured butter supplied by Pepe Saya, bringing an extra layer of care and indulgence to the shared table
• Gifts for women and children, chosen to offer comfort, usefulness and joy - Two Hugs Teddies for the Littles, a selection of handmade Adora Chocolates, Affirmation Cards, Drink Bottles or Backpacks for the older kids; Two Good Hand Lotion or edible treats for the adults; Two Good Christmas Crackers with Gelato Messina vouchers inside for all!

Together, these thoughtful contributions helped elevate each lunch beyond nourishment — creating environments where women and children felt genuinely welcomed, considered and celebrated.

“At its heart, Love Through Lunch is about reminding people that they are seen, valued and worthy of beauty and care.”

WHY DOES IT MATTER?

During the festive season, celebrations of food, family and community are all around - but for women and children living in crisis accommodation, the festive season can amplify uncertainty, stress and isolation.

This is the reality for the 122K people in Australia experiencing homelessness on any given night.

Through initiatives like Love Through Lunch, a shared meal can offer something quietly powerful: a pause. A chance to breathe. A reminder that they belong; that they are worthy of connection and joy.

As one partner shelter shared, the lunch was “more than just a meal — it created a sense of dignity, comfort, and connection that was deeply felt by all who participated.”

These moments of connection sit at the core of Two Good’s purpose. When people gather around a table as equals, stories are shared, laughter flows, and communities take shape.

Voices From
The Table

Across these lunches we saw rooms filled with laughter, warmth and conversation; women and children feeling relaxed, welcomed and genuinely cared for; staff and residents sharing an experience that strengthened connection and trust.

The feedback from our partner organisations was consistently in awe of the atmosphere these lunches created:

• “Lots of laughs, connections and smiles in the room.”
• “It helped set the tone for a welcoming, inclusive space where women could relax, connect, and feel genuinely valued.”
• “The care, kindness, and love shown through the meals you provided meant so much to our clients. It was more than just a meal — it created a sense of dignity, comfort, and connection.”
• “For many of the women attending, this was more than just lunch. It was an experience of being seen, cared for, and welcomed into community.”
• “The women were so appreciative – it’s a tough time of year, and this meant a great deal.”
