Join us for an unforgettable evening of exceptional food, community impact, and student excellence.
Victoria University's Hospitality, Culinary Arts and Events students invite you to attend our Semester 2 Charity Dinner, a special fundraising event showcasing the talent of future industry professionals while supporting the incredible work of Feed Me, a charity dedicated to reducing food insecurity and rescuing quality food that would otherwise go to waste.
This year's event proudly features acclaimed guest chef Graham Jefferies, owner and chef of Samesyn 2.0 in Torquay. Recognised for his innovative low-waste dining philosophy, Chef Jefferies has transformed Samesyn into a purpose-driven restaurant focused on sustainability, community impact, and the creative use of rescued produce. All profits from Samesyn 2.0 are donated back to Feed Me, helping support vulnerable members of the community.
Working alongside Victoria University's aspiring chefs, hospitality professionals and event managers, Chef Jefferies will present a specially curated dining experience inspired by sustainable gastronomy, local produce, and modern Australian cuisine. Guests will enjoy an evening that celebrates both culinary excellence and social responsibility.
