Why we Can't Wait

Rent or groceries. Too many families are choosing.

Australian households went without enough food this year

~130

Families we feed every single week, right now
Groceries for a family of four now run close to $240 a week, and the cost of housing (rent, rates, insurance) has climbed more than 6% in the past year alone. For low-income families, single parents doing it alone, refugees rebuilding a life from nothing, and elderly Australians living on a fixed pension, that pressure often means there's nothing left for food once the bills are paid.
Every Thursday, our team packs and hand-delivers fresh, halal food bags to around 550 people across the communities we serve. Another 120 families are waiting for a spot. Your $1 a day is what lets us say yes to the next family on that list.
