These big families will have to stay together, because there\u2019s no housing in Ballarat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCOVID has had a big impact. Some couples are living on $190 a fortnight with two kids. People don\u2019t realise that. It\u2019s a vicious circle, so we really rely on the 3BA Winter Appeal for support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blankets from the Creswick Woollen Mills were also distributed to the charities this week.<\/p>\n<p>The 3BA Winter Appeal officially launches on Tuesday, 1 June. 3BA general manager John Fitzgibbon was grateful to Maxi Foods and the Creswick Woollen Mills for their support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the dollars that we spend, they give us the maximum bang for our buck,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s tough to make ends meet in winter. All these supplies are much-needed now to allow the charities to deal with the demand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOrdinary, everyday families are faced with the situation of choosing between paying a large utility bill and putting food on the table, so the charities work with them to provide emergency relief; food and blankets, so they\u2019re not using the heating so much, and they can manage their cash to pay their bills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If people would like to make donations of non-perishable foods or clean, warm, quality blankets they\u2019d be willing to give to their own family members, they are asked to drop them off at the charities directly.<\/p>\n<p>But Mr Fitzgibbon said ultimately, \u201ccash is king.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can specifically target our purchasing to what the charities need, whether it\u2019s certain foods, or more blankets. Cash gives us flexibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/3ba.com.au\/community\/appeals-page\"><strong>3ba.com.au\/community\/appeals-page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SIXTEEN pallets-worth of food has been purchased by the 3BA Winter Appeal to ensure their benefiting charities can provide families with emergency supplies as the cold weather arrives.
