"I put $250 into the Marrickville Community Garden. Six months later, I walk past it with my kids every day."
"Best investment I've made. Yeah, the returns are good, but I see the cafe employing local kids. That's what makes it worth it."
"What I love is the transparency. I can see exactly how much the food hub makes each month, how many families it serves."
