We are happy to announce that Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre is now doing Foodbank!
Foodbank has been integrated into Second Bite to ensure that we can continue to help our local community and our environment.
This means more variety of food for Second Bite on Wednesdays and more food not going to Landfill.
Foodbank is a non-denominational, non-profit organisation which acts as a pantry to the charities and community groups who feed the hungry.
Not only does Australia have a massive food loss and food waste problem, but it also has a massive food insecurity problem. Food insecurity is a situation that exists when people lack secure access to sufficient amounts of safe and nutritious food for normal growth and development, and an active, healthy lifestyle. In October this year, Foodbank released its annual Foodbank Hunger Report which revealed that a shocking 3.6 million Australians, or 15% of the population, have experienced uncertainty around where their next meal is coming from in the last 12 months – and they are not who you’d think. Almost half of food insecure Australians are employed and 2 in 5 of these households are families with dependent children.
