\u201cNo child can study, concentrate, or achieve if they are hungry.\u201d That is the assessment of Grant High School Wellbeing Centre\u2019s Mandy McIntyre and that is why the school has tapped into the Spare Ya Change 4 Kids program \u2013 one of 25 schools across the Limestone Coast.<\/p>\n

The Mount Gambier based charity has seen an explosion in service provision, increasing its pool for schools from six schools at the beginning of this year to the end of year 25 school tally.<\/p>\n

Spare Ya Change 4 Kids provides meals for school students, whipping up the nutritious packed meals in the kitchen of the Mount Gambier Italo Australian Club fortnightly, powered by a hard working band of volunteers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meals provided have made enormous differences to some student behaviours at school,\u201d Mrs McIntyre said. \u201cIf a child goes to bed hungry, they don\u2019t sleep well, they come to school foggy, angry, tired. all of which make it almost impossible for a child to concentrate and absorb learning material.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrant High has been accessing the services for a couple of years now, ever since they began the service.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a varying number of families who benefit from the meals, and it changes with economic pressures. I would say we have in excess of 15 families who access this on a fairly frequent basis, but we do however also provide families with a comprehensive list of other services available in Mount Gambier who can assist to get them back on their feet as we do not want to develop a climate of reliance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spare ya Change 4 Kids board member and volunteer Lesley Okholm said the charity has worked hard to forge relationships with fellow charities and organisations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the help of Foodbank, we\u2019ve established hubs in Naracoorte and Millicent and made the service more accessible, so we\u2019ve jumped from 300 meals a fortnight to around 900 a fortnight,\u201d said the former school principal.<\/p>\n

\u201cFoodbank provides some of our produce and delivers to outlying areas and in return, we give them 100 meals each fortnight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Okholm said there were frequently misconceptions around what determined an area of need for the service.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not only the schools you think have hungry kids that have hungry kids,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are determined that all kids in the Limestone Coast should get a solid, balanced meal once a day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mount Gambier Education Director Ruth Schubert said the charity organisation was now well established in the region<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that when our young people are nourished, they are better able to learn, so we fully support this charitable venture and their efforts to expand and ensure that no child goes hungry,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Many of the volunteers, have been with the charity since its inception five years ago, when they were a small group working from a home kitchen.<\/p>\n

The meals are frozen and transported to schools around the district, and also the Limestone Coast Homelessness Service, operated by ac.care at the Mount Gambier Community Centre.<\/p>\n

The registered charity relies on donations of produce, financial support to pay for protein and pasta meal elements and most importantly, the generous donation of time from long-time volunteers and skilled chefs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe chefs that have stepped up have been amazing, and we\u2019ve got volunteers like Robyn, Louise and Janine that have been with us since we began five years ago, and seven new volunteers this year,\u201d Ms Okholm said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a team effort and we value the contributions of every single person that donates their time, every business that helps us out with produce and every single donation that comes in the door.\u201d<\/p>\n
