FoodShare gratefully acknowledges the assistance of Border Trust, and the Handbury Foundation, ACE Radio 1494-2AY & EdgeFM for their valuable contribution to our ‘Feed Our Kids’ project which has enhanced our school breakfast program.
Border Trust is the Community Foundation for the cities of Albury and Wodonga, and the Indigo, Towong, Greater Hume and Federation Shires. As a Community Foundation, Border Trust is building a perpetual fund for the benefit of the community; now and in the future.
Katrina Pawley, FoodShare CEO expressed how fortunate FoodShare was to receive this funding. “We know households with dependent children are particularly vulnerable to food insecurity and having breakfast has been shown to have a positive impact on mental health, concentration, and academic performance. The revamped Feed Our Kids program will ensure we are meeting the growing needs across school communities in our region.”
