my journey

It started with a lasagne, then turned into a movement.

When I was 19, I dropped out of university to start Alex Makes Meals. Since we started in 2020, we’ve cooked and donated over 700,000 meals to those in need, partnering with more than 50 charities to provide food relief and connect individuals with essential services.

We now prepare over 3,000 meals a week, distributed to people experiencing food insecurity across Greater Melbourne. Through partnerships with charities, community organizations, and local councils, our goal is not just to feed but to restore dignity and provide hope to those who need it most.

I love what I do, and I love the incredible team that’s built up around it. Every day I have the chance to pursue exciting projects like Feast To Feed and The Melbourne Test Kitchen, with no goal above helping people
