ASRC | APPEALING | Festive Food Drive | Sunday 22 December 2019 | 10am-3pm

[Edited extract from public address]

For many of us, the festive season is a time for celebration and indulgence. Yet for many people seeking asylum living in the community, it's just another month of struggling to feed the family.

Help people seeking asylum by donating essential food items at our Festive Food Drive. This annual community event helps to fill our Foodbank shelves to ensure that people seeking asylum have food security during this holiday period.

The garage roller door will be open, so you can drive right into the garage with your donation.

Where: rear of the ASRC building (garage door is opposite 46 Albert St, Footscray)

Staff, volunteers, and our CEO Kon Karapanagiotidis will be here to greet you with a smile and help you unload your donations.

Bring the family! A food drive is a great way to introduce children to the idea of helping others in a tangible way.

We do please ask that you ONLY bring foods from the list below.

Essential food items are our priority, and sticking to the list ensures that our members' needs are met, and your donation isn't wasted.
We would love your donations of:

  • Tuna in oil - all size
  • Dishwashing liquid - 1L 
  • Laundry detergent - 1L
  • Basmati rice - all sizes
  • Sweet & savoury biscuits
  • UHT full cream milk – 1 litre
  • Tinned vegetables
