Christmas Giving Appeal

This Christmas, many families in our community are facing an extra challenge. 

The rising cost of living is affecting a growing number of people across all walks of life — from young families to seniors, workers, and even uni students. Food insecurity is no longer just an issue for the unemployed; it’s impacting everyday people trying to make ends meet. 

Today, your donation can help provide hope to the many people in our community who are facing hunger. Whether they’re parents juggling multiple jobs or students skipping meals to afford rent, they all deserve a warm, nourishing meal.  

Unfortunately, right now our food supplies are critically low and the shelves at our new warehouse are looking disconcertingly empty. Food donations were down 10% compared to the 1st quarter of last financial year. To stop-gap the problem and meet the demand from our 92 food partners across central Victoria, we have had to resort to purchasing fresh vegetables and meat to have these basic necessities available.  

But it’s not enough. In the lead up to Christmas to help families get through Christmas we need to purchase more pantry staples, such as pasta and rice so we can offer food to those in need these holidays.   

Are you in a position to donate this Christmas to help us feed local people in need?  

Your contributions will help us purchase food and provide food relief to 13,000 people each week, through programs such as soup kitchens, community lunches, school breakfast and lunch programs for children coming to school hungry, and the provision of food hampers to people in need. 

This holiday season, your generosity can bring hope and warmth to those in Central Victoria doing it tough. 

Please give generously to our Christmas Giving Appeal.  

All donations over $2 are tax deductible and can also reduce your taxable income.
