COVID 19 – ‘WE ARE HERE’ CAMPAIGN
MID 2020 – MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
In response to Covid-19, Halal Food Bank, alongside our field partners established the ‘We Are Here’ campaign. During the strict Covid-19 lockdown in mid 2020, with increasing job losses and Melbourneans struggling financially, the demand for our food hampers increased substantially.
The ‘We Are Here’ campaign aims to provide food+hygiene hampers directly to those affected by Covid-19 related unemployment/restrictions. These hampers also consisted of face masks and hand sanitisers.
Parallel to this campaign, Islamic Council of Victoria requested hampers for their own distribution to those in need. Funded by the State Government of Victoria, we have supplied upto 1750 hampers in a 12 month period.
We are thankful for the continued support of donors, our field partners and volunteers during these uncertain times.
