From what started out with short term expectations is becoming an ongoing feature of service to the need in our community.
Food Lin k is about connecting catering companies operating in the region with those people in need of a good meal. Food Link raise funds to purchase 100 meals each week from those catering companies who are faced with closure due to the cancellation of events under COVID-19 restrictions.
This week, funds have come in from two sources. Jenny Foott and the Fairley Leadership group raised $3710 in a matter of a few days on social media.
“We would normally have got together to raise funds but due to the restrictions, a post on our social media got instant attention and we were able to raise the funds in a couple of days,” said Jenny.
The program also has been granted $4800 from SmartMeals, another not-for-profit doing a similar meals program around Australia which will help keep the program going for another month.
