Foodbank site visit

Kat and Mal gave us a wonderful guided tour around their complex at Mitchell Park. Foodbank has been around 90 years.
Last year Foodbank purchased six million worth of food to give to the needy.
Immediate past president June ran the meeting whilst President Andrew was recovering. 26 club members and 1 guest braved the windy weather.

So what is Foodbank? It is a government-run program that believes everyone should have access to good food no matter their situation. They are there for the everyday Australians who are going without. 

In Australia, Foodbank provides food and grocery relief to 2,844 front-line charities and 3,379 school breakfast programs to help feed people in need. Last year alone, they sourced enough food for 92 million meals.

Currently, it is not open to the public.  Foodbank Ballarat is at its  infancy and there are plans for it to expand its services to the local community.
