Glen Park Community Centre provides Emergency Relief to some of our most vulnerable Victorians. Christmas is a time of the year where many families struggle to meet the daily demands of life whilst providing some of the luxuries that many of us see simply as "tradition". According to Foodbank's latest hunger report, it is believed that 25% or 1 in 4 residents in Victoria are accessing food relief at least once a week and 29% of food insecure residents in Victoria had never gone hungry before the pandemic. Charities in Victoria report that the demand for food relief in 2020 has increased on average by 47%, which is why we are asking you to donate to Glen Park's Emergency Relief program this Christmas. Glen Park already provides 1250kgs of food per month to the community, but without your support we cannot meet the increased demand at this time of the year.
We are seeking donations of non-perishable items such as tinned food, dry pasta, rice, pet food, personal hygiene products, flour, long life milk and custard, coffee, tea, as well as Christmas food items like lollies and treats. We are unable to accept donations that are beyond their used by date or have been open or damages in any way.
