We are a volunteer led organisation. Meet our leadership team.
Ellen Frajman
Volunteer Chair, Director
I have been an active volunteer for most of my life. In recent years, I have become a "food whisperer", having established the nourish progarm at Temple Beth Israel and taking on the chairmanship of Mazon Australia. During the recent lockdowns I have delivered food parcels for Souper Kitchen and served takeaway meals at Sacred Heart Mission. I also made many loaves of banana bread for the Project Dignity Crisis Relief program. Scrabble is my other passion, with many lockdown hours spent playing it online.

Joanne Loewy Irons
Director
My resume is one of giving back.
I am a non-practising lawyer by choice, volunteer by design. I have provided pro-bono assistance to many non-profit groups. Volunteering for me is like breathing.
The appeal of being a volunteer is in engaging and connecting with others, and encouraging al to give of their time in a meaningful way to build stronger, healthier and kinder communities.
Fernanda Filarent
Treasurer, Director
I am a Jewish immigrant originally from Argentina. I exercise my professional Business and IT skills, with a unique Argentinian Yiddishe Momme twist. Volunteering is my second nature, and with very scarce time as a mother, wife, dog lover, interior designer, year level coordinator and, of course, my daily work in the corporate and non- profits sectors, I have always found time to make the world a bit better.
I know I can support the real heroes in the pantries and kitchens, by lifting the administration and operational challenges the organisation has.
