2026 marks the 20th Anniversary of Helping Hands, and we have something special planned!

Those of you that were around ten years ago will remember that for our 10 year anniversary we put together a Community Recipe Book, filled entirely with recipes from our team members and significant people from our Helping Hands community.

Now we’re coming up to our 20th Anniversary and we thought why not do it again, but better this time! We’ve grown a lot as an organisation over the last ten years, and so many new people have joined our HH Family, so we want to put together a new Recipe Book that better reflects what Helping Hands is today.

We would love for everyone to be a part of this, and invite you all to submit your favourite recipe – the one that you love cooking for your family and friends! Any type of recipe is fine, from snacks and main meals to sweet treats. If you’re struggling to choose just one favourite, we’re more than happy for you to submit multiple recipes!

To submit a recipe, you can fill in one of our Recipe Book forms. These can be found in team spaces across all of our sites, or picked up from our office at McIntosh Street.

You can also find a copy of the form on the document below. This copy can be printed out and dropped in, or you can email a scanned copy to communications@helpinghandsmission.org.au

Ideally we will have all recipes submitted by the 20th of February, so you have a month to think of something yummy you’d like to share!

Thank you to everybody who has already submitted a recipe, and a preemptive thank you to everyone else! We can’t wait to have you be a part of this little bit of Helping Hands history!
