Local charity Need a Feed has changed the way it operates and is reaching more people than ever before. CEO and founder Shaz Harrison reports

During 2020, Covid in some ways had a positive impact on Need a Feed because it allowed us to reevaluate the way we provide for the community and enabled us to work even more closely with our partner organisations.

We have a system in place now where we can distribute even more food to people in need. 

Each week we have been able to distribute, on average, 60 food gifts and personal care items that are given directly to people facing extremely challenging circumstances, often those who fall through the gaps. 

Our partnership with Wollongong Tafe for our Christmas pudding fundraiser last year has opened up multiple opportunities for future fundraisers!

We are planning several fundraisers, including:

* Hot cross buns at Easter  

* Christmas in July meal

* Christmas puddings in December.

We are always grateful for support on any level, in the way of monthly or one-off donations. These are always put to good use and greatly appreciated. 

Perhaps your business would like to collect food for us to distribute?
