The fuel crisis is putting growing pressure on our services and the people who rely on them.
The cost of essential food items like oil, coconut cream, meat and flour has risen sharply, along with fuel cost and delivery surcharge, while public food donations are declining as fewer people can afford to buy food or the fuel needed to drop it off.
At the same time, demand continues to increase, with thousands of families seeking asylum relying on our two Foodbanks to survive. These families often have no income, no work rights and no federal government support - we are their safety net.
Your donation today will help us provide a steady, reliable supply of food to those who need it most.
If you can, please give to our urgent two-week food security appeal.
