As a major
participant in the Victorian Government’s Disaster Response and
Recovery Plan, VicRelief Foodbank can be called upon by the
Victorian government to respond with emergency aid and assistance
to those Victorian’s whose lives have be severely disrupted as a
result of bushfires, floods or drought. It is a task which
VicRelief Foodbank has admirably carried out since the
establishment of Victorian Relief in 1930.
Making
inroads on the drought: Drought Support Program
Victoria is
currently experiencing its worst drought conditions in 100 years
with most rural areas experiencing widespread hardship as a result.
VicRelief Foodbank is a key facilitator of the Victorian
Government’s drought support program distributing food packages to
individuals and families in the most affected areas of Victoria. We
are also assisting local communities in building more effective
emergency relief networks to help cope with the huge impact of
the drought on their resources.
