Prime Real Estate is proud to be supporting the Feed Geelong campaign on Wednesday 16th October, which is a charity day for Feed Geelong.
On this day, bring in a brown paper bag to work with what you would generally spend on lunch for that day and donate it to Feed Geelong.
This year it is estimated 370,000 Victorians will, at some stage, not know when or where their next meal is coming from.
In the past older people living alone, young homeless people and single parents have been among the most common groups going without enough food.
Now it is increasingly the working poor. They have a job and a roof over their heads, but once they have paid the rent or mortgage, petrol, electricity and other necessary household expenses they are unable to afford to feed their families three meals a day. In fact, a recent study found that 19% of families in Portarlington are food insecure.
