Grow Free Trolley

Our Grow Free Trolley at Holdfast Bay Community Centre is a shared community resource that offers a simple, practical way to share surplus home-grown produce, garden harvests, and pantry items. Located on the front verandah near the entry, the trolley runs on goodwill and is accessible at all times of the day, making it easy to share food and avoid waste.

We love seeing how gardeners, families, neighbours, and cultural groups use the trolley, and the many ways food brings people together. If you’re visiting the community centre, feel free to stop by, enjoy what’s on offer, and share how the trolley supports you or your household.

This is a community-led initiative, shaped by the people who use it, and everyone is welcome to take part.
