For a portion of Melburnians, a free shopping experience is nothing out of the ordinary. Many rely on food banks not only as a necessity for survival but as a source of community. What used to function as a communal food centre, now operates a delivery service where volunteers respond to economic uncertainty during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. As Victoria declares a state of disaster, OUTSIDE THE BOX is a 5-minute documentary that explores how Donvale food bank volunteers are challenged to overcome ever-changing restrictions and find new ways to show love at a distance.
