11.01.2022 Dear South Australian public, Whilst the state will be on a 'pause' for the next 6 days, I wish to confirm to everyone that Foodbank SA as an essential service... will continue to provide food to charities and families in need across the state. As such, all Foodbank Food Hubs and warehouses will continue to operate over the coming 6 day lockdown. Foodbank is the last line for providing food relief to vulnerable members of our community and our services will be required more than ever in the coming days. Please stay safe, together we can do this. Yours sincerely, Greg Pattinson (Foodbank SA CEO). #foodbanksa #covid19 #endhunger #lockdown
