Comedians Virtual Cocktail Party
Just a laugh but it puts food on the table
COCKTAILS FOR A CAUSE
Wednesday 10 June 2020
6.00pm-7.15pm
Some of Australia's leading comedians are inviting people from across Australia to join them at home for a special 'VIRTUAL COCKTAIL FOR A CAUSE' in support of the Wellsprings for Women charity's 'Cultural Cuisines' program.
Cultural Cuisines is an initiative that started two years ago to harness the cooking skills of the women who attend Wellsprings, based in Dandenong, to engage in a number of programs to develop social connections and skills.
Since its inception the program has involved over 20 women from culturally diverse backgrounds who have catered for all the events held at Wellsprings, plus a number of externally hosted celebrations.
Chair of Wellsprings for Women Janet Cribbes said the women get trained in food handling and participate in a series of workshops to build their confidence and skills in catering.
The Wellsprings charity is working towards the program transitioning into a viable social enterprise that provides a regular source of income for the women involved.
