The organisation's Laneway - Cafe without Borders social enterprise has taken on the challenge of supplying 100 care packs to businesses around Horsham, to spread positivity around the city.

Each care pack contains 15 meals and staples made by participants of the Laneway Cafe, including sausage rolls, slices, pasta bakes, lasagnas, roasts, milk, bread, eggs, soup, sausages, and of course, sticky date pudding.

Laneway - Cafe without Borders coordinator Jess Koenig said the centre wanted to show how much they appreciated the efforts of small businesses owners throughout the pandemic.

"I really loved the idea of spreading the positivity of giving into the small business sector to let them know we appreciate all their amazing efforts over the constant disruption to their life securities. Saying we're here for you," she said.

"It is an amazing initiative for our pathway program learners to be involved in, cooking, packing and then delivering to the businesses. This gives everyone involved such a sense of accomplishment, pride and change making."

Packages have already started heading out, with 24 delivered across the past 10 days. Ms Koenig expected the task to continue into the new year.

Each care pack costs $100, and the Centre for Participation has offered the community the opportunity to support the initiative through donations.

Ms Koenig said people could contribute as much or as little as they pleased.

"Any contribution, big or small, will assist us to continue to support the businesses in our community that have had such a difficult time over the past 18 months. You can contribute by heading to our website or calling the office on 5382 5607," she said.

"Because it's not just about the dollars coming in, it's about actually supporting our community in an emotional way too.

"We need to remain community strong, build together and support each other."
