LinC Yarra Valley Easter Appeal: Help Boost our Program Co-ordination Capacity

To keep our social supermarket and crisis relief program running sustainably, we urgently need additional funds to increase the hours of our part-time program coordinators.

Most of our programs are run by volunteers, but demand has grown dramatically – one of our sites is now serving nearly five times as many people as it did 18 months ago. As a result, our ability to manage these programs and secure additional funding through grants and donations is stretched to the limit. If you’re unable to volunteer, we would deeply appreciate a one-time or regular donation to help expand our coordination team. This will allow us to reach more people and continue meeting the rising demand for our services.

We are at a breaking point due to unprecedented demand for food relief and crisis support. Our Yarra Junction site now has 350+ people visit our social supermarket each week, compared to 60 people visiting each week 18 months ago.
