Story

Hot Days, Warm Hearts Fund: Keeping Blackburn Nourished This Summer

Summer in Blackburn can be a challenging time for many families. With children out of school, parents face the added financial burden of feeding their children three meals a day. For many, this can mean difficult choices between groceries and other essential expenses.

Last summer, Blackburn Foodbank fed 2,823 during July-August. 1,077 of these were Children.

This year, we aim to support local families through our "Hot Days, Warm Hearts Fund." Your donation will provide essential food supplies to those in need during the Summer Holidays, ensuring that no one in Blackburn has to face hunger alone.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a significant impact. Together, we can turn the heat of summer into a season of compassion and care. Let’s make sure every child has the food they need and every family feels the warmth of our community.

Donate today and help us spread warmth and nourishment this summer.

Thank you for your support!
