Today we flash back to the 2019-20 bushfires where school kids from around the state created the most beautiful letters of support. On the inside of one card it read " You are a blue star in the middle of a galaxy of white stars, everyone loves you, for you." We're not crying, you're crying Visual description: 12 hand drawn cards shaped in a square, all with encouraging messages, including - stand strong, don't worry be happy, don't lose hope, enjoy & stay strong.

13.01.2022 The 2020 hunger Report showed us that of those people who sought relief prior to COVID-19, 38% are going hungry one whole day a week. It's good to know that that during those times of struggle, we can help to decrease the stress and hopefully ensure that need for food relief is alleviated. No one should be going hungry.
