Welcome to Amaranth’s Community Meals Program
At Amaranth, we believe in the power of community and the impact of giving back. Our Community Meals program is more than just a meal; it’s a way for you to contribute to a larger purpose. By donating $30 towards 5 chef-prepared meals, you are not only enjoying a nutritious, delicious meal but also supporting our ongoing social impact program.
The funds raised through your donation (which is tax deductible) directly contributes to the sustainability of our initiatives, empowering us to continue supporting local communities. Every dollar donated goes back into the program, helping us provide essential services, resources, and support to those who need it most.
Ensuring access to affordable, nutritious meals is crucial for the well-being of individuals in the aged care and disability sectors. For many, particularly those with limited mobility or resources, preparing meals can be a challenge. Offering affordable meal options not only provides essential nourishment but also supports dignity and independence. Proper nutrition is vital for everyone to maintain energy, manage chronic conditions, and support overall health.
Amaranth Chef, Liam Whyte, is championing the affordable meals program too ease the financial burden on families and carers, allowing them to focus on other essential care needs. Our Community Meals program ultimately supports both physical health and emotional well-being, promoting inclusivity and ensuring that everyone has access to nutritious food, regardless of their financial situation.

How to Defrost and Reheat Your Community Meals:
To enjoy your community meals at their best, simply follow these easy steps:
Defrosting: Remove the meal from the freezer and place it in the fridge for 24 hours to thaw. If you’re in a hurry, you can defrost in the microwave on the ‘defrost’ setting.
Reheating: Once defrosted, it is recommended to transfer the meal to a plate or bowl.
For microwave: Reheat in microwave for 1minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until warmed through.
