Reaching those in need

With the support of a community grant from the City of Whittlesea’s Community Grants Program, not-forprofit organisation Reach World Wide Australia provides free food to vulnerable people across the municipality through the delivery of food hampers, community pantries and school breakfast clubs in partnership with local public schools.

“This hamper is such a gift. I am thankful not just for the food, but for the hope, compassion and empathy of the volunteers towards us. It has made such a difference.” – Family supported by Reach World Wide Australia

Reach World Wide Australia’s President Cherian Peter emphasised the importance of the grant in sustaining these efforts and in ensuring these programs can continue.

“A significant portion of the funds are used to buy non-perishable and staple food items such as rice, pasta, canned goods, cereals and other basic groceries, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits.”

The City of Whittlesea provided more than $270,000 in community relief grants to a range of community support organisations this year. Community grants are also available to support our community to deliver programs, activities and events.
