Foodbank NSW & ACT first learned about the Get Fit Give Back campaign in mid-2024, recognizing an immediate opportunity to fuel their vital frontline operations. “It’s raising funds that go so far to help us support people in need,” explains Laura Incara George, Head of Partnerships and Philanthropy at Foodbank NSW & ACT. As the state’s largest and most trusted food relief charity—distributing over a million kilos of food every single month—this community-driven support arrived at a crucial time for families facing food insecurity.
Because every new membership sends $100 directly to the nominated cause, Foodbank experienced an incredible fundraising boost, securing over $9,000 in total donations. These funds were quickly translated into tangible, life-changing relief on the ground. “We've been able to ensure that 18,000 meals have gone directly to people across the state and territory that are doing it tough and perhaps worrying about where their next meal is going to come from,” Laura shares.
Deeply moved by the seamless collaboration and heartwarming community backing, Foodbank highly recommends the initiative to other non-profits and local clubs. “The team have been an absolute joy to work with,” Laura adds. “We can't do what we do without people like you, and you play such a big part in making sure that we're able to tackle food insecurity. Thank you so much from all of us.”
