A heartfelt
thank you from Geraldton

Every week, our Geraldton team opens the doors with one goal, to make life a little easier for families doing it tough.

Recently, they received a beautiful handwritten letter that reminded us just how meaningful that support can be.

Courtney, a local mum, shared how shopping with Foodbank WA has given her some much needed breathing space. It helps her nourish her children without the constant stress that rising living costs bring. She told us the support she receives helps her parent more calmly and confidently and gives her the chance to be more present with her kids.

For Courtney, the experience is about much more than groceries. She described the relief of walking into a space filled with kindness and smiles, even on the overwhelming days. Our Geraldton team’s warmth and patience have become a bright spot in her week, sometimes the only day she gets out of the house.

“You all do such an incredible job and we are so grateful. Foodbank day is one of the top highlights of my week. The work you do is so valuable and you’ve all had a very meaningful and lasting impact in our lives.”

Messages like this mean so much to us. They remind us why our teams, volunteers and supporters show up every day. It is not just about providing food, it is about offering dignity, connection and hope.

To Courtney, thank you. Your words have lifted our whole organisation. Your courage in reaching out reflects the strength we see in so many families across Western Australia.

And to our Geraldton team, this letter is a testament to your compassion and the safe, welcoming space you create. You truly make a difference.
