“…Charitable food systems (CFS), including food banks and meal services, are the primary response to food insecurity in Australia (Booth et al., 2018 ; Lindberg et al., 2015 ; Pollard et al., 2018 ), providing valuable emergency food relief. However, studies indicate a lack of food literacy among both food‐insecure individuals (Ankrah et al., 2023 ; Begley, et al., 2019 ; Begley et al., 2019a , 2019b ; West et al., 2020 ) and the staff and volunteers involved in charitable food provision (Lawlis et al., 2019 ). Recent research in Australia suggests that while staff and volunteers receive extensive training in emergency relief, training in nutrition and food security is limited (Albrecht, 2017 ; Lindberg et al., 2015 ), and the food provided by CFS may not meet the nutritional needs of clients (Roth, 2020 ; Simmet et al., 2017 ; Tse & Tarasuk, 2008 ).…”

Individuals experiencing socio‐economic disadvantage face higher rates of food insecurity and health disparities. This study explored the perceptions, attitudes, and knowledge of individuals providing nutrition services, and users of these services, to identify nutrition needs and inform potential strategies for addressing diet‐related health inequities. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted utilizing a phenomenological approach to explore lived experiences, beliefs, and perceptions influencing nutrition‐related health. Key themes were derived by consensus among researchers using inductive thematic analysis. Twenty‐two interviews were completed, which identified five themes. “Budgetary Constraints” was found to have a pervasive impact on all nutrition‐related services. Secondly, diverse “Individual Clientele” was found to influence three overlapping themes pertaining to opportunities and limitations for “Knowledge and Skills,” “Services, Resources and Staff,” and the “Systems and Food Environment.” Budgets directly impact the availability of services, resources, food provision, sustainability, and educational opportunities for staff, volunteers and service users. A live‐in environment offers a platform to implement and evaluate targeted interventions to inform and enhance nutrition‐related support services. Future interventions should address individual and systemic influences, prioritizing client‐informed, cost‐effective, sustainable capacity building for clients and staff. Recommendations for systemic and environmental influences include formalized staff training, peer‐mentoring systems, and increasing client autonomy. This has the potential to improve food security for residents following their transition into independent living. Charitable system limitations underscore the need for broader systemic change, informed policymaking, and government intervention to effectively address the root causes of food insecurity and diet‐related health inequities.
