24.01.2022 Forget panic-buying - donate extra pantry items to residents in need / Clear your overflowing pantry and support residents in need this Christmas as part of Brisbane City Council’s annual Christmas Goodwill Food Drive, in partnership with Foodbank. Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said the global pandemic led to supermarket shelves being stripped of canned goods and encouraged residents to give back to those in need. If your pantry is a looking a little stuffed from panic buying,... now is a chance to free yourself from guilt by donating non-perishable items to one of Brisbane’s 33 libraries and help make Christmas brighter for someone in need, Cr Schrinner said. Foodbank has experienced record demand over the past year, with one-third of Queenslanders in need of food relief having never experienced hunger before the pandemic.
