    A stranger gave Danielle and her husband Nathan a box of onions, however, they later found they didn't need it, so Danielle decided to pass the kindness on.

    Thinking of many families trying to feed their loved ones, Danielle put the onions outside her home, with a sign encouraging others to "take what you need, share what you can". Now, one year on, their stand(小摊), called the " Waverley Co-op", provides thousands of people with 500kg of fruit, vegetables, and bread each week. " others add their things to the stand, too." Says Danielle.

    "A common story we hear is that the things people take from the stand help them to save a few dollars so they can afford to buy meat that week." For a new mum, 33-year-old Stacey, it'd been the lifeline she needed to keep food on the table for her family. Last year, Stacey's one-year-old son Kaidan ran into a hot fire, badly burning his hands. Then, her husband lost his job. "Without the help of the Waverley Co-op, we wouldn't have had food,"says Stacey, who discovered the volunteer-led stand by word of mouth.

    "It has been a blessing to hear the stories and meet the people in our community," says Danielle,who couldn't be happier that a box of onions brought so many people together. "The trust, support, and connection —that's been the biggest success!"
