NOW more than ever before food support for people in need is in high demand. Reports are indicating that due to the continued pressures of COVID and increased living costs, food relief services are seeing new individuals and families regularly. Some of these people have never needed a hand before.
Community organisation Shepparton Foodshare continues to tackle this issue head on, and over the past ten years have provided more than 6.8M meals to people in need. This essential service was recently gifted a piece of land where they are set to start building their forever home/warehouse soon, but to see the project through they are going to need some additional support.
Not only does this service provide food to people in need it also prevents quality food going to landfill. The Woolsheds owner/chef Angela Mangiameli has offered their hospitality once again for the annual Shepparton Foodshare fundraising dinner on July 1. The three-course meal will be made from donated food items.
“I am looking forward to the evening and seeing what we can achieve together. It is a wonderful community event where people can get dressed up, enjoy a delicious meal, and hear about all the wonderful things Shepparton Foodshare do.” said Angela.
Tickets to ‘Make a Meal in June’ are $100 per person and can be purchased online at www.sheppartonfoodshare.org.au. A substantial portion of ticket sales will be going directly into the much-needed funds for their new warehouse and forever home. If you cannot afford a ticket, donations are always welcome via their website at sheppartonfoodshare.org.au
