Even before COVID-19, three children in every classroom across NSW and ACT were going hungry. Foodbank nationally has seen a 78% surge in demand for food relief. Hunger is no longer a hidden crisis, and children are going hungry at alarming rates.
Beiersdorf Australia – manufacturer of NIVEA and Elastoplast products - has announced its official partnership with Foodbank Australia.
Your unwavering support through the most challenging time in Foodbank’s history has eased the pain and distress of countless hungry Australians.
Thank you for your wonderful support throughout the bushfire crisis earlier this year.
I was blown away with the generosity, and what we’ve received with everyone’s help.
Supporting communities after the devastating bushfires was always going to be a challenge. But when COVID-19 hit, the challenge was more than doubled.
Thanks to you, in a short space of time, we have been able to help so many Australians. We have packed and distributed 9,800 hampers – that’s around 118 tonnes of product.
Even though restrictions have eased, the COVID-19 nightmare continues for many people impacted by job losses and increased hardship.
COVID-19 has shattered livelihoods, inflicting hunger on thousands of Australian families for the first time. At Foodbank, this is the most substantial and sustained demand we’ve ever faced, and it’s a constant battle to help everyone who needs us.
