Foodbank's 2024 Hunger Report was released last week. They’ve been creating this report for over a decade now, and yet year on year, the data the Hunger Report reveals is still so hard to comprehend. ​​​​

 

Demand for their services rose from feeding 50 000 per day at the beginning of last year to 69000 this year. Every statistic is a person with a story-someone’s daughter, son, mother father etc unfortunately shame and stigma prevent people who genuinely need it from seeking help.

More than 1 in 3 Victorian households COULDN'T AFFORDTHE FOOD THEY NEEDED in the last year. Over 80% saw their food run out without having money to buy more.

Over HALF A MILLION Victorian households were severely impacted, which means regularly skipping meals or going days without eating.

Why not consider supporting this worthy cause with me?

 

See the 2024 Hunger Report on Food Banks website for more information.
