Feed it Forward is helping reduce food waste and supporting people in need across the Shire, thanks in part to assistance from the Shire's Community Group Resourcing Grant program.
Through its Volunteer Safety and Visibility Project, Feed it Forward received funding to support its volunteer operations, including funding to purchase 200 high-visibility branded safety vests for volunteers who collect surplus food from supermarkets, bakeries and local donors before delivering it free of charge to schools, charities, community groups, local pantries and families.
Feed it Forward Director Jaye Eyre said the vests have improved safety for volunteers working in busy car parks and delivery areas, while also helping local businesses easily identify volunteers and raising awareness of the organisation's important work.
"We're incredibly grateful for the support. Grants like this make a real difference for volunteer organisations and help turn simple ideas into projects that support the whole community," Jaye said.
The project is a great example of how small grants can make a meaningful impact, supporting volunteers while strengthening services that benefit the wider community.
