On Brown Paper Bag Day (Friday 14 October) donations will be DOUBLED* to help fight hunger in our community.
Thanks to our Matched Giving Partners including The Gordon, The Mulberry Group and VIVA Energy your donation will be DOUBLED.*
This means that if you donate your $15 lunch money on Brown Paper Bag Day it will instantly become $30 for the Foundation’s Feed Geelong Appeal.
All you need to do to have your donation doubled is simply donate what you would normally spend on your lunch or coffee on Brown Paper Bag Day (Friday 14 October) and your donation will instantly be doubled by our Matched Giving Partners.
*up to $15,000
Don’t forget to #FeedGeelong
To support the Appeal even more, Goop Digital will be donating $5^ for every post on social media that uses the hashtag #FeedGeelong throughout the appeal (ending World Food Day, Sunday 16 October).
^up to $5,000
How does your donation help?
53,00 individuals and families in the Geelong region need food support. And of those people, 16,000 will go without a meal at least one day per week. ^^
Across the Geelong region the number of individuals and families reaching out to food relief agencies for support with food assistance is continuing to increase.
As the cost of groceries and living expenses rise, so too does the demand.
Your donation will help the Foundation provide meals to address the growing need within our community.
Last year, generous donations from people like you helped the Foundation raise over $30,000 for food relief in our region and helped provide over 6000 meals for people in our community.
