COVID-19 has left many Victorians in a situation they’ve never been in before – unable to afford food and groceries. So I'm jumping on the bike again on Nov 28 to take part in this year’s Hunger Ride. Just $1 donated is 2 meals created. Please donate: https://t.co/M3Bs5lBsHa

[Foodbank Victoria @FoodbankVic]

Have extra food to donate? Unlike our bushfire response, we're not accepting public food donations. If you do have items to donate, please contact your local charity to see if they are accepting donations 👉 https://t.co/sMNSKSBNFd - take care of each other 💜

Heartfelt thanks and words of kindness from our patron during her visit today. Her Excellency spent time with staff and volunteers who've been busy sorting, packing and distributing very generous bushfire food relief donations #gratitude

[Governor of Victoria @VicGovernor]

Proud to be Patron of @FoodbankVic, which has delivered more than 3,200 food hampers to families affected by the #vicfires. This is in addition to the organisation’s everyday work, which reaches more than 1.2 million Victorians per year

Thanks to your generosity, we’ve packed 4,500+ hampers for bushfire affected families.
And we're short on some essential items!
Donating food this weekend, we’d love breakfast cereals, rice, simmer sauces & pasta sauces.
Our warehouse is open 10–5 Sat & Sun

From @Lizzo to Albo, our Foodbank Victoria volunteers are feeling the love this week 💜 Today @AlboMP popped by to say thanks for all the food relief. If you’re planning on stopping by too, we’re accepting public food and water donations Sat and Sun 10am-5pm. #AusPol #foodrelief

@Mynameismellum @FoodbankVic Hi Mel, as Daniel Andrews has just announced there is an oversupply of food on the ground at the moment. The real need now is financial assistance. https://t.co/qFQ5PhfyLT

[Foodbank Victoria @FoodbankVic]

We had the one and only Lizzo helping us sort and pack hampers in the warehouse today! If you'd like to join Lizzo in supporting the bushfire crisis, visit https://t.co/aDyjFTSsLE 💜

As our doors opened at 10am this morning, we already had dozens of cars lined up around the corner, ready and willing to donate to #bushfire affected communities.

[David McNamara @FoodbankCEODave]

@EmCahill Hi Em, thanks for your support, we're all good at this stage.

[David McNamara @FoodbankCEODave]

I am overwhelmed with the support shown by the community! We have cars lining up around the corner. Thanks so much for your donations! Please note, we are expecting delays of up to 30 minutes to drop off donations. We appreciate your patience during this time #bushfires

[Foodbank Victoria @FoodbankVic]

A quick reminder that we are open Saturday and Sunday 10am - 5pm collecting food donations for our bushfire appeal.💜 #BushfireEmergency
