The Victorian Government has announced 13 organisations will share in $1.67 million from the latest funding round of the Food Relief Financial Reserve.
The Financial Reserve was established to provide extra support to community food relief providers, who are delivering more food to vulnerable Victorians in response to the challenges of the pandemic.
Organisations who will receive the funding include OzHarvest, FareShare, Foodbank Victoria and SecondBite.
Minister for Disability, Ageing and Carers, Anthony Carbines said: “We are ensuring a warm meal is available for everyone who needs it – because no Victorian should worry about having enough to eat.”
“This funding brings our total investment in food relief for Victorians to more than $39 million since the start of the pandemic.”
“With this assistance, food relief organisations across the state will be able to continue their important work getting food out to vulnerable members of our community in a COVIDSafe way.”
