“We just need as much help as possible.”

Foodbank NSW and ACT head of partnerships and philanthropy, Jayne Hogan, added: “The need for support is greater than ever.

“Foodbank NSW & ACT is working tirelessly to ensure that no one goes hungry over the holidays, but we can’t do it alone.  We rely on the generosity of our community to help us provide essential food and supplies to those in need, and we’re so grateful to Think HQ for their ongoing generosity and commitment to supporting people in our communities this holiday period.
