Where to Eat for Free in Melbourne – Part 2
You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you. — John Bunyan
My first article,
Where to Eat for Free in Melbourne , attracted some healthy debate over disseminating information on where to find free food in Melbourne. With the rise in homelessness in our city it is apt to write a sequel to that article in the form of a comprehensive list of organisations that have gone above and beyond to feed the less fortunate. If you are hungry and have little or no money or if you know someone who is in such a situation then this article is for you.
