Food Bank
In Victoria, some 200,000 people regularly go hungry or suffer malnutrition through lack of regular access to healthy food. This is not just a problem for the homeless or the unemployed, but affects many people even within our own community.
The Primary purpose of Food Bank is to provide immediate assistance to those enduing financial hardship, by providing free food and hygiene hampers.
Some clients may need assitance only once, whereas others may need assistance for several weeks or months should there be no short term solution to their current situation.
