Across the Geelong region demand for food relief is continuing to increase. The Geelong Food Relief Centre has reported a 239% increase in demand since 2020/21.
This is why, from 16 – 22 October, coinciding with World Food Day, the Give Where You Live Foundation will be raising funds through our Feed Geelong Appeal to make sure no one in our community goes hungry.
Lunch Money Challenge
The Lunch Money Challenge is a great way to get your workplace, sports team, school, or friendship group involved in the Feed Geelong Appeal.
On Thursday 19 and Friday 20 October we’re encouraging workplaces, schools and community groups to support the Feed Geelong Appeal by donating your lunch and coffee money to help fight hunger in our region.
Donations made during the Lunch Money Challenge will be DOUBLED with thanks to our generous matched giving partners, The Gordon, GSC Finance Solutions, Rex Gorell Ford, Australian Tyre Traders and Associated Cold Tread Tyres.
