With your help, we can help put food on the table for people struggling.

Food insecurity anywhere is heartbreaking, and the growing situation in Tasmania is no different. Sadly, our research shows that 25% of adults in Tasmania experience severe food insecurity, which means they ran out of food because of financial limitations and, at worst, went entire days without eating.

 

“I was paying all expenses for my son, his partner and children after they were hit by unemployment and losing their rental, but I was using up my reverse mortgage which was supposed to cover essential repairs and last me for a couple of years. We decided that the adults eat less so that the children weren’t affected. We are having one meal a day.”
