Released last week, our Hunger Report shows us what we at Foodbank see firsthand every day: food insecurity doesn't discriminate, it can affect any of us at any time and its continuing to impact people that have never been impacted before. One in three households in NSW & ACT are still going hungry. Our vital mission is to make food available to those who need it most, but we can’t do it without the support of our communities and partners. We need your support now more than ever. If you work in food supply, manufacturing, transportation, or distribution—or can provide financial assistance—your help is crucial to ensure that no one goes hungry. 🤝 Get in touch with us via our website today: https://lnkd.in/gBGb9W2p

1 in 3 households in NSW & ACT are going hungry—that’s 1 million families experiencing food insecurity. Many of these households have never faced this challenge before. As the demand for food rises, we are reminded every day of the stark reality that there’s enough food in Australia to feed everyone. But it’s only through the support of our communities and partners that we can ensure this food reaches those who need it most. Read this year’s Hunger Report on our website: https://lnkd.in/gyMS3RFd
