THE NEED

THE IMPACT

THE NEED

2020 was a year like no other, with more people than ever experiencing financial hardship and struggling to make ends meet.

24% increase in the number of Queenslanders seeking food from charities.

At least once a week 3 in 10 food insecure Australians go a whole day without eating.

We were so grateful for the bag of groceries and want to give back. We can’t give much but now we are getting on our feet, we want to give back to the Appeal.

Loads of Love literally saved our lives and gave us the help we needed when we needed it the most, I don’t know where we’d be without people helping the way they did.
