Cafes for COVID is an innovative new program that will pay local businesses, using money raised by the community, to cook meals that will go out to people struggling to afford food via Bendigo Foodshare’s network of food relief agencies.
Bendigo Foodshare receives a donation of 11,600 farm fresh eggs from Specialist Breeders Australia’s Huntly site just in time for Easter.
Bendigo Foodshare’s Bendigo Bank Million Meals in May appeal has reached its end, but that hasn’t stopped local donors, with contributions to the appeal still rolling in ahead of the end of the financial year. Counting is still in progress, but a $5,000 donation from the Bendigo City Masonic Lodge has brought the working total to $56,500, just $9,000 from the appeal’s target.
