We nourish those in need by cooking and delivering nutritious meals, providing food packages and redistributing rescued leftover food and ingredients from local restaurants.
Every 2nd and 4th Sunday, our Community Kitchen unites volunteers to prepare Nasi Bungkus, a traditional Balinese dish, which we then deliver together to those in need.
Receiving a food package brings joy and relief to those facing hunger. It provides essential ingredients, enabling them to enjoy meals that go beyond just plain rice.
Excess food from restaurants can be used to tackle food insecurity. By recovering, reallocating and delivering it, we provide nourishment to those experiencing hunger.
In our NOURISH program we run a community kitchen where volunteers cook and share Nasi Bungkus with vulnerable communities. We also distribute Sembako food packages and partner with restaurants to donate surplus food, offering essential support to those in need.
Despite its idyllic image, many locals in Bali face daily difficulties accessing nutritious meals. Economic hardship and rising living costs contribute to this ongoing issue, which is often overlooked by tourists and expats.
By raising awareness and providing support, we aim to address these hidden challenges and ensure that more families have access to the food they need.
It is not just about simply feeding people - we seek to encourage compassion and cultivate a happier and more connected community. United can we make a difference!
Our Community Kitchen is a volunteering opportunity where like-minded individuals come together to prepare and deliver Nasi Bungkus, a traditional local meal, for those struggling to access sufficient nourishment.
This project not only provides food but also fosters connections among volunteers passionate about giving back and making a positive impact in the community.
Join us every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month at 8 AM at Rolling Fork for a rewarding group cooking experience.
After preparing the meals, anyone interested can join the delivery tour to share our Nasi Bungkus with those facing food insecurity - discovering Bali beyond the tourist spots and witnessing the often-overlooked realities of the island.

The "Sembako" food package, which stands for "sembilan bahan pokok" or "nine essential goods", plays a vital role in ensuring household food security. Our package provides meals for two people for an entire week, all for just 20 USD.
One Sembako food package contains 5 kg of rice, a carton of Indo Mi noodles, 2 litres of cooking oil, 30 eggs, a box of biscuits, a pack of coffee, a bag of tofu, two packages of tempeh, a bag of mixed vegetables and a blend of garlic, onions and chilies.
By providing these essentials, we aim to support families in need and help them cook nutritious meals.
Donating a Sembako package provides more than food – it offers hope and stability to underprivileged families. Every package counts - together we can make a lasting impact!
A food package worth 20€ feeds 2 people for 1 week. Our Sembako packages include essentials like rice, fresh vegetables, cooking oil, and eggs - everything a family needs.

It is heartbreaking to see perfectly good food getting thrown away while many struggle to put food on the table for themselves and their families.
Through our food rescue initiative, we collect leftover meals from restaurants and perfectly edible ingredients from supermarkets that are still safe to eat but no longer considered "sellable" because of their appearance.
We then redistribute this food to those in need, helping them reduce their spending on food and have more money for other essentials.
By working together, we can tackle food waste and provide much-needed support to those facing hunger.
Let us know what surplus food you would like to donate.
We will arrange a pick-up time that is convenient for you.
Your donation will reach those in need, ensuring no food is wasted.

I had an amazing time volunteering at the Community Kitchen at Rolling Fork in Uluwatu. The vibe was incredibly welcoming and the team is so passionate about what they do. It was great to be a part of such a meaningful experience. If you're in Bali and want to meet amazing people while giving back, definitely check this out. It’s a fun, rewarding experience, and I can't wait to join in again!

Volunteering at the Community Kitchen in Uluwatu was such a rewarding experience! For me, the highlight was the delivery tour of the Nasi Bungkus once we finished cooking. Tatjana shared a lot of interesting info about the challenges Bali is facing, and it really opened my eyes and made me think.
If you're in Bali and want to make a difference, I highly recommend it!
Mia, Singapore
Totally worth it, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to Uluwatu and looking to give back.
The morning was super rewarding, and it felt awesome to be part of something so impactful. If you're in Bali, check it out!
