Thanks to the Give Where You Live Foundation’s Community Choice voucher program, your donations to the Feed Geelong Appeal can make a big difference to the lives of people in our community, like Maria.
After fleeing a violent relationship, Maria* found herself sleeping in her car with nothing but a small suitcase. Overwhelmed and unsure where to turn, she went to Lazarus Community Centre.
At Lazarus she received a Give Where You Live Foundation Community Choice voucher, which meant she could buy fresh fruit, bread and a few toiletries, small essentials she hadn’t had in weeks. More than food, it offered her dignity and the strength to take the next step towards rebuilding her life.
“I cried in the car park,” Maria says. “Not because of what I’d lost, but because I finally felt seen.”
Your donations will help people in need across the Geelong region. When you support the Feed Geelong Appeal you’re helping local organisations like Lazarus Community Centre provide the same life changing support to people in crisis, ensuring no one in our community goes hungry.
Give a gift today. Together we can feed our community.
