MELBOURNE—Driven to see food businesses thrive amidst the economic downturn of COVID-19 restrictions, a southern Victoria resident has brought tens of thousands of local foodies together on a social media platform “to help out” food outlets in Mornington Peninsula.

Dromana local, and real estate agent, Isidora Love, founded Peninsula Food with Love Eat & Drink Local Support Facebook Group on March 21, after the Victoria government declared a state of emergency to combat the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus.
