Census data has revealed the rate of #homelessness has increased a staggering 4.6% in the last five years, with an estimated 116,000 people experiencing homelessness in Australia on Census night. That's 50 people in every 10,000 without a home. #unacceptable

@AndrewMain66 @abcperth @try_kooda @NadiaMits @Coles Yes each store have systems in place, but at the end of the day it is down to individual store champions. Some really get the importance of what we do, some not so much.

@AndrewMain66 @abcperth @try_kooda @NadiaMits @Coles You are so welcome to come and see what we do! We are based in Belmont.

@AndrewMain66 @abcperth @try_kooda @NadiaMits @Coles In fact Coles are very much passing on their fresh food to us. We have nearly 40 stores across Perth we are picking up from 4-5 days a week.

@foodrescue ‘s Julie Broad on food rescue: you have to be innovative. the difficult part is getting the food to people. eg. cafés don’t have resources to get left over food to people in need. We act as the conduit. @NadiaMits #foodwaste

@Fisherfood Oh and here in Western Australia most of our funding is through sponsorship from corporates and individual and a community agency we sit under.

@Fisherfood Thanks Andy, would appreciate a copy of the eBook. One of the areas I am passionate about is enabling people through food. They need to have the opportunity to participate in the experience. Again this is layered due to complexities. I don’t believe in soup kitchens lines.

[Food Rescue @foodrescue]

@Fisherfood We need a collaborative approach, it isn’t one size fits all and there are many layers to food insecurity! From the bottom up people need to be loved, fed and housed. That is everyone’s basic right.

[Food Rescue @foodrescue]

@Fisherfood On the contrary I think it is a great solution. We do similar in Perth Western Australia. Over 41 cafes give us their leftovers daily and we connect that food that same day to people who would otherwise go hungry.
