Food Bank Donations to Foodbank Australia

18/4/2020

2 Comments

 
A group of extraordinarily generous sisters in the Brisbane Church of Christ donated a substantial amount of non-perishable food items to a Brisbane based Foodbank on the 16th of March 2020. This food will go to help those that have been affected by the Bush fires that happened late last year/early this year and also to those that have been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis.

Foodbank Australia provides food for 815,000 Australians each month and operates over all the states in Australia. At least once a week, around half of the food insecure people skip a meal (55%) or cut down on the size of their meals to make their food go further (50%). At least once a week, three in ten food insecure Australians (30%) go a whole day without eating. This is why foodbanks like this are so important and need generous donations like the ones made recently. For more information on what Foodbank Australia does, visit their website at https://www.foodbank.org.au/hunger-in-australia/who-we-are/?state=wa

Homeless Connect
This was organised by Brisbane City Council and HOPE had a booth. HOPE was one of many organisations present to meet with needs of the Homeless Community in Brisbane.

​From the HOPE booth food was distributed to the homeless and the needy and Participants filled out surveys asking them to identify needs such as clothing, food, community resources.

Subsequent follow-up by phone with Participants who had filled out forms was subsequently carried out and once their specific needs were identified, food, clothing and bedding supplies were delivered to them.

Testimonial from the Retirement Home.
Good afternoon, Debbie.
May I offer you, Alice and Ben, and your choir members, a huge thank you for the beautiful performances here at Bluecare Kenmore on Saturday afternoon. Residents have told me that it was just beautiful, and the quality of singing was mentioned more than a number of times! I understand that the staff did a wonderful job, meeting and greeting your members, and getting many more residents than expected to the Activities Rooms. J
The residents loved their bears, how very kind of you all to gift them.

Thank you, again, Debbie, for initiating this event. It is special gift to share with others. Thank you all.

With kind regards
Sandy.
