GIVE A FEED
2023
This is
simply advanced notice that Give a Feed 2023
is now ready to go ‘live’
and will be actively promoted during November-December
in the lead
up to the festive season
(we’re not
focussing directly on ‘Christmas’
given the
diversity of families this supports).
With luck
this year we may hit the $1 million mark since this project commenced,
especially now Rotary WA exists and is getting
behind it.
That would be over 30,000 hampers or around
120,000 or more people
provided
with the basics for a festive meal over the past decade.
You are most
welcome to the GAF23
on
Tuesday 14 November (6.30-10.30pm and Henry M’s Manning)
to get a
better understanding of this collaborative project with Foodbank WA,
and thus
address any questions coming your way from Rotarians or their clubs.
