WA’s Murray community dug deep for the Anti-Poverty Week Community Food Drive between 14 October and 1 November; donating an incredible amount of non-perishable food items and personal hygiene products such as pasta, canned food, honey, crackers, and soap and toothpaste.
The Shire of Murray delivered donations to the Pinjarra Community Kitchen this week.
Shire of Murray President, David Bolt, said the donations will help feed people experiencing homelessness or severe financial hardship.
“The Murray community has once again rallied behind the Food Drive to help those doing it tough,” said Councillor Bolt.
“This year was bigger than ever before with plenty of contributions received. We have been told the volume of donations should help keep the Pinjarra Community Kitchen stocked for many months to come.
“Thank you to everyone who generously donated.”
The food drive is an annual initiative run by the Shire of Murray.
Collection points were established at the Alcoa Binjareb Pinjarra, Alcoa Refinery Security Office, Austin Cove Baptist College, Dwellingup Primary School, Murray House Resource Centre, Murray Library, North Dandalup Primary School, Pinjarra Primary School, Murray Aquatic and Leisure Centre, Pinjarra Senior High School, Shire of Murray Administration Office and St. Josephs Catholic Primary School.
