Yesterday, Foodbank SA officially celebrated the opening of the Murraylands Food Hub.
The celebration saw our CEO Greg Pattinson, Leanne Malek and Bronwyn Tyler cut the ribbon, marking the long-term support and security Foodbank will provide to the Murraylands region.
In the last 12 months alone Foodbank have distributed the equivalent of 146,000 meals to those living in the Murraylands region. The Foodbank Food Hub Murraylands has been part of our long-term commitment to ending food insecurity with an additional 140,000 meals needed to meet the current levels of demand.
During this time we will work with local agencies to provide a dignified shopping experience to those requiring food relief in the region.
We would like to thank our supporters of this project,
, Corporate and local businesses, Foodbank supporters, staff and volunteers for contributing to this exciting new stage in Foodbank’s strategic direction. We want to particularly thank the service clubs in the region,
