DigIn

DigIn


DigIn provides Brisbane’s homeless and those experiencing disadvantage with home cooked meals.

Dig In was established by a group of like-minded university students in 2017 to provide the community with wholesome and nutritious meals. Since then, Dig In has served over 80,000 meals and has a team of 200+ volunteers.


2022 Pitch

Funds Raised: $28,000

At TFN Brisbane 26 May 2022, Curtis pitched for funding to extend their innovative hot food vending machine to enable people in need to access nutritional meals autonomously.

The Impact…

The funding gave the Dig In team the financial means to build upon their current machine, enhance it, and advance their technology and knowledge further. Without the funding, it would've been more difficult to progress towards their goal of developing a vending machine solution that can reliably and efficiently distribute meals to those in need 24/7. Dig In is confident in this next iteration and believe the new machine and software will prove invaluable, cementing the concept.
