25.01.2022 Food For Families update: You responded to those in need with a sense of compassion and generosity The 70 tonnes of food and other essential items pledged pro...vided some much-needed festive cheer for people in crisis. It has also gone some way to restocking our shelves so we can continue to provide food to those that come to us for assistance. An additional 250 food boxes were delivered to Uniting in January for our relief efforts in bushfire-affected communities. https://foodforfamilies.org.au/register/

25.01.2022 I know lots of Victorians have used this time to get to those odd jobs around the house. And theres something very satisfying about doing a big drop at the op-...shop and being able to admire your newly cleaned and sorted wardrobe. But despite some op-shops reopening, many are still closed or not accepting new donations right now. That means when you try to donate goods, theyre actually ending up in landfill creating more rubbish and forcing charities to foot the bill. Op-shops should never be dumping grounds for broken or dirty things, and donations should never be left outside business hours. Its unhygienic, its time consuming and its dangerous for the people who work and volunteer there. So before you head out, call ahead or check online to make sure the shop youre visiting can accept your items. And remember its only a donation if it makes it to the shelf.

24.01.2022 Be part of National Child Protection Week. Putting children first means prioritising the safety and wellbeing of children. To grow up well children need to fe...el safe and loved, have a chance to play and explore, have a say in decisions that affect them, and access to essential things like food, shelter and healthcare. For children to thrive we need to come together as a community and put childrens needs first during National Child Protection Week and every week. #Playyourpart in the prevention of child abuse and neglect https://www.napcan.org.au/ncpw-theme/

06.01.2022 Food for families: Right now, it’s difficult for us to know what we will be able to do by Christmas. We know the need is there in fact data from our services ...shows that demand for food relief is growing. Food For Families is a way for you to provide practical support this Christmas and throughout the year to come. By donating or supplying food and other essential items, you can ensure people in crisis can access the basics they need to get through a difficult time. Most of our emergency relief services are operating and still accepting donations of non-perishable food and household essential items. So if you have items you wish to donate and can visit one of our drop off points while respecting your local restrictions, please call them directly to confirm any site specific requirements. This will ensure someone will be available to accept your donation at the time you plan to drop past. Thanks to you. https://foodforfamilies.org.au/
