Profits raised from the Bendigo Book Fair will support the work of Bendigo Foodshare

Support the Bendigo Book Fair

After many years successfully running the Bendigo Book Fair, in 2023 the Y Service Club of Bendigo handed over the running of the Book Fair to Bendigo Foodshare.

From Easter 2023 the Bendigo Easter Book Fair will be coordinated and run by a group of dedicated Bendigo Foodshare volunteers led by Garth Keech. Garth and his wife Marg Keech are long term supporters of Foodshare and Garth has generously agreed to lead and manage the Book Fair on our behalf.
