Hunger hurts more at Christmas
Your kindness helps make sure a struggling family like Jodie’s* has food this Christmas.
Foodbank NSW & ACT needs to pack 45,000 hampers, so no family goes hungry this Christmas.
Your help is urgently needed.
Donate a hamper now, so a family like Jodie’s doesn’t go hungry this Christmas.
“It shouldn’t be this hard to feed a family.” – Jodie, mum of three.
Jodie’s raising her three girls on her own. Some fortnights, she has as little as $100 to $150 in her entire budget. When a bill is due, she has even less to spend on food for the kids.
Like one in three families in NSW and the ACT this year, she’s had to skip meals, or go whole days without eating.
No one should go hungry ever, especially at Christmas. Your kind gift now will mean a family like Jodie’s won’t have to.
Each hamper has enough nutritious food for the Christmas week, plus extras like ham, a pudding and sweets to make Christmas Day special.
Without your help, other families like Jodie’s may go hungry this Christmas.
Jodie knows how much weight a food hamper can lift off someone’s shoulders.
She remembers when she first reached out to Foodbank for help.
“I actually broke down and cried,” she says. “If I get a hamper this Christmas, I’ll feel so lucky, so grateful,” she says.
“It can stretch what I’ve already got, so I don’t have to worry about putting something on the table. My girls and I could celebrate Christmas properly. They deserve that.”
Donate now to give a Foodbank hamper and transform Christmas from a time of hardship into one of joy.
