Shannon Duncan, coordinator of the Healthy Kimberley Food Recovery Depot, and a whole army of volunteers have seen a dramatic increase in the work at the Food Recovery Depot over the past few weeks in response to increased need in the community.
On Thursday and Friday of last week alone 1152 lbs of recovered food was sorted and delivered to the doorsteps of 178 homes in addition to the food that went to the food bank and out to other homes through home support workers in an amazing demonstration teamwork, dedication and community spirit. This demand is only expected to increase over the coming weeks and more staff is needed to keep increasing the capacity.
The Food Recovery Depot thanks all volunteers, staff and donors!
