Grant Council campaign brings Christmas joy

District Council of Grant combines forces with Foodbank to help those in need for festive season

A small idea from staff at the District Council of Grant has made a big impact to community members in need this Christmas.

Employees William Parker and Jake Turner proposed the idea to host a ‘Casual for a Cause Day’ at the organisation in an effort to bring the working team together and brighten the holiday period for those experiencing disadvantage.

On December 22 the workforce rallied in support and filled a total of 10 bags of non-perishable items which equates to 62.5 kilograms of food and 125 meals. All items were delivered to Foodbank Limestone Coast on the same day just in time for families throughout the community to enjoy.

The District Council of Grant is extremely pleased with the efforts of all staff who contributed and acknowledge the hard work Foodbank Limestone Coast do to support the local community.
