Geelong players and staff volunteered their time at The Food Purveyor last Thursday to help Victorians in need during the current bushfire crisis.

They spent their time accepting and sorting critical items to be donated to Foodbank Victoria.

The Club would like to thank the generous support of its members and fans who donated critical food items or funds online.

Foodbank Victoria is the State’s official emergency food and water relief organisation, under the State Emergency Relief and Recovery Plan. As fires broke out across East Gippsland, they immediately responded, delivering urgent food relief and water to those affected areas via air, sea, and road.

As the crisis grows, thousands more Victorians, including firefighters, are in desperate need of food relief and water. They need urgent financial donations to continue providing vital food and water to Victorian families affected by the bushfires.

Foodbank Victoria are still accepting cash donations online. If you would like to donate you can do so here.
