With high electricity bills having to be paid, FoodBank Australia says many simply cannot afford to buy food.
FoodBank Australia wants to give these people a chance to be both warm and feed this winter by having launched its “Warm Up this Winter” campaign.
The charity is asking for financial donations saying one dollar can allow it to distribute $9 dollars worth of food to those who need it. .
FoodBank Australia is a non-for-profit Australian organisation that has been helping feed people since 1992.
The organisation says that two million people in Australia each year will need food donations, half of these people are children.
FoodBank Australia also says that 2.2 million Australians are currently living in poverty and that 105, 000 are homeless.
You can donate money to FoodBank via their website.
Food can also be donated by both the general public and businesses. Please also visit the FoodBank Australia website for contact details.
