For Feed Geelong Appeal's Lunch Money Challenge, donate the equivalent of what you might spend on lunch on an office day.
Today is World Food Day, and donations made on Thursday 17 and Friday 18 October will be doubled thanks to the generosity of matched funding partners. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible and will receive an automatic tax receipt.
Whether you donate under TAC, another organisation, or as an individual, your contribution supports the many people doing it tough across the Geelong region to put food on the table, and the incredible work of Give Where You Live Foundation
Food for thought:
· It is estimated that every week the Geelong food relief sector supports around 9,000 client interactions, over 2,000 food parcels, provision of 34,000 meals, and nearly 23,000 kg of food
· GWYL distributes around $130,000 annually through its Community Choice voucher program, supporting over 7,500 people each year
· 67% of people accessing GWYL’s Community Choice voucher program are female
· 55% of food insecure households in Victoria had someone in paid work (Foodbank Hunger Report 2022)
· The Geelong region has the third highest rate of homelessness in Victoria (after Dandenong and Monash, all higher than in Melbourne’s inner city)
TODAY'S THE DAY!
Today we launch the Feed Geelong Appeal.
Join the Give Where You Live Foundation from 14 - 20 October to help make sure nobody in our community goes hungry.
Your support will assist local food relief agencies with the 34,000 meals being delivered each week in Geelong.
