Giving Pantry | Your Donation Can Ensure We Continue Supporting Families

This is how your donation helps Leah

You hear stories about life turning upside down in an instant. Leah doesn’t just hear about it; she lives it.

A motorcycle accident ripped her husband Steve from work, leaving him with a brain injury and their family in financial freefall. Medical bills mounted, the family business folded, and hungry mouths loomed.

“We found ourselves in a perilous position of not meeting our bills, let alone putting food on the table,” Leah said.

Juggling finances was a tightrope Leah already walked with practiced steps. Caring for her two sons, the household budget, like many around the state, was always a balancing act. Add constant medical bills to support her son with level two autism and a chronic illness, and Leah was running out of options.

This is Leah's story

Partnerships bridge remote community gaps

Rent and groceries cost significantly more in many remote regions compared to Perth, an issue that needs to be addressed by national and state-wide policies.

We believe distance shouldn't be a barrier to a healthy diet and we work tirelessly to bridge this gap.

Thank you for helping us deliver a record-breaking Easter for families in need. With your support, we assisted a staggering 1,163 households across Western Australia the Thursday before Easter. This record number highlights a worrying reality: food stress is a significant and growing.

As more Western Australians struggle to put food on their tables we are even more committed to advocating for change. Together, we can create a future where empty plates aren't a tradition – not just at Easter, but every day. Thank you for being a part of feeding change, one healthy meal at a time.
