Since 2024, Otway Pasta Company has been proud to support the Colac Kindness Network (CKN) - a grassroots, volunteer-led organisation providing practical support and heartfelt care to locals doing it tough.
Based in Colac, CKN brings people together through acts of kindness, including home-cooked meals for community members facing hardship. Their passionate volunteer team advocates for dignity, inclusion, and empathy - backed by real action and community care.
In 2024, Otway Pasta Company donated pasta sauces to the charity, contributing to over 150 nourishing meals. In February 2025, we followed up with a large delivery of fresh pasta for their weekly meal collection day.
We’re proud to support organisations like CKN, whose mission to spread kindness and care reflects values we hold close at OPC. It’s a reminder that sharing good food can be one of the simplest, most powerful ways to make a difference.
From all of us at Otway Pasta Company, thank you to the Colac Kindness Network for your continued commitment to kindness in action.
