THE Give Where You Live Foundation is calling on the community to donate to their End of Financial Year Appeal.<\/p>\n

Those experiencing homelessness, struggling to put food on the table and facing long term employment will benefit from the funding.<\/p>\n

Give Where You Live Foundation chief executive officer Bill Mithen said that in the face of the rising cost of living, the community needed support now more than ever.<\/p>\n

“As we celebrate 70 years of impact in the Geelong community, we are also reflecting on the incredible generosity of the community over the decades.<\/p>\n

“In 1954, approximately half of the families in Geelong gave something to that first appeal.<\/p>\n

“As we approach the end of the financial year, we invite you to join us and support our 70th End of Financial Year Appeal to make it our most impactful yet.”<\/p>\n

In the past financial year, the Give Where You Live Foundation invested $2.6 million into the regions, however their community partners are reporting an increased demand for services.<\/p>\n

“A lot more people are experiencing financial struggles,” Uniting Vic Tas’s Shelley Johnson said.<\/p>\n

“Whether they’re waiting for their next pay cheque to come in or their pension, we’re also seeing many who are escaping family violence.”<\/p>\n

Over the last two years, the Give Where You Live Foundation has provided Uniting Vic\/Tas with grants totalling $80,000, allowing them to provide emergency relief to those most vulnerable in the Geelong community.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, the foundation has also provided them almost $50,000 in Community Choice vouchers in the last six months for people to access food, household items and prescription medications.<\/p>\n

Mr Mithen thanked the community for considering the Give Where You Live Foundation for their tax time donation and noted the community was central to their work.<\/p>\n

“Contributions to our End of Financial Year Appeal will stay in our local community and support us to continue our vital work across the Geelong region,” he said.<\/p>\n
