So humbled by and proud of what the @FoodbankAus team achieved last year, despite enormous obstacles. Here's a little vid I put together capturing some of the rollercoaster that was 2020. #zerohunger#proudfoodbanker#endhunger
What a year! We could not have helped the millions of people who needed us without your support. It was our toughest year yet and we're so grateful for everyone who donated, raised awareness and encouraged us along the way. #endhunger https://t.co/0PNq3pdxMO
Today & every day we celebrate the #generosity & hard work of our #rural#communities. Aussie #farmers donate ingredients for our vital Collaborative Supply Programs, helping us proactively produce our most-needed items with the support of #manufacturers. #zerohunger#agdayau
WE π FARMERS! Today is #AgDayAU β a time to show our deepest gratitude to the Aussie farming community. Our #farmers donate delicious fresh fruit, veg, eggs, grain, dairy and protein to #Foodbank year-round to help adults and children going hungry across the country. #endhunger

In addition to the $1.5bn loan to Indonesia this week, we welcome this significant, and much-needed re-engagement with SE Asia. This is critically important for sustainable development, addressing poverty and inequality and protecting development gains threatened by #COVID19
What would you do with a dollar?
...what if you knew, that $1 feeds 2? Half a buck to fill a belly, would you use that one, to feed someone, while you sit there and watch the telly?
