Feed The Little Children

Feed The Little Children Inc is a small grassroots charity based in Broome, Western Australia, delivering up to 350 hot nutritious meals, bread and pantry staples to children experiencing food insecurity every Friday and Saturday nights. In 2007 the founder of the charity was employed in Broome as a WA Police intelligence analyst and identified a direct correlation between food insecurity and juvenile crime in the town on weekends. After four years of comprehensive consultation with Aboriginal community members, deliveries of nutritious meals to the children commenced in 2012.

Since this time our operations have expanded and grown to include a cooking program for the children we provide meals to and we are currently in consultation with elders to commence a program to support the Grandmothers who are caring for their Grandchildren, to support and empower them through a cooking program, financial counselling and child health education. The charity has one paid position for our Co-ordinator and receives no Government funding.

Feed the Little Children Inc share a vision to break the cycle of hunger and promote healthy eating habits for children in Broome and beyond. Our purpose is to work with our community to provide nutritious meals for hungry children and build relationships with families which empower them to improve their circumstances so that their children thrive and reach their full potential. We strive to improve health outcomes for the children we serve and educational outcomes by helping to send children to school with food in their bellies, as well as reducing juvenile crime on the nights we deliver.
