What a cracking result – YOU helped create 5.4 million seats at our Christmas table.
It was always going to take a Hercules sized response from our community to support the epic scale of need leading into Christmas (try 69,000 people a day), but we didn’t expect such bedazzling feats of generosity.
Like ABC Melbourne host Sammy J who kayaked the mighty Yarra River as part of ABC Gives to Foodbank to help put 700,000 meals on awfully empty Christmas tables.
Speaking of heart, 295 of you set up Virtual Christmas tables online for Foodbank including a couple hosted by our big-hearted friends Zoe Foster Blake and Melissa Leong.
All up we raised over 5.4 million seats in our ’24 Christmas Appeal…and by seats, we mean beautiful, healthy meals delivered with YOUR help.
Victorians truly are the most generous people on earth (nah, we’re not biased).
Cecilia and her son (pictured above) were so overwhelmed by the kindness, community spirit and help from our volunteer ‘big Edi’ (who loaded bags and boxes into their boot without raising a sweat) at our Christmas Market they couldn’t stop handing out hugs – including an extra special one just for YOU.
“Thank you so much. You’ve been wonderful …I can’t tell you what this food means,” Cecilia told us.
