Monique never imagined she’d need Foodbank.
Monique works full-time and plans every dollar. She shops the mark-downs, maps out meals, and does everything she can for her two boys (9½ and 12). But when life turned upside down – escaping family violence, managing a mortgage, school costs and medical bills – there was nothing left for food.
“It’s such a relief to know I can shop at Foodbank – like a big weight lifted off your chest, knowing you have enough food to feed your family.”
Foodbank met Monique where she is: with dignity and practical help. Shelves stocked because of donors like you mean milk for Weet-Bix, eggs for dinner, fresh fruit and veg – and the joy of saying “Yes” when a hungry child asks for seconds.
