FoodAssist needs help itself

Jenny Creed and FoodAssist volunteer Toni Grant.

ONE not-for-profit organisation that has been helping Warwick and surrounds for the past two years needs help to keep its doors open.
FoodAssist Warwick goes out of its way to help the community by putting food into homes.
But its efforts are taking their toll and now the organisation is barely able to cover its own rent.
Warehouse supervisor Jenny Creed said she is desperate to get in contact with any businesses that would like to sponsor FoodAssist.
“FoodAssist Warwick is reaching out to the community in the hope that by working together we can keep the roof over our heads – no joke,” Jenny said.
“If things don’t start to pick up, the shed we call home will no longer be ours.
“This shed has given us the opportunity of a lifetime as well as cover and we do not want to leave.
“Please let everyone know that our hampers are available for everyone – no concession card or referral required.
FoodAssist Warwick is at 38 Percy Street and is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 3pm.
Those who need help can visit the FoodAssist Warwick Facebook page and see the current hamper that is available.
Each hamper can vary depending on the stock available.
FoodAssist Warwick can also deliver for a fee of $2.50.
Interested sponsors are asked to contact Jenny Creed on 4661 5576 or 0434 044 200 or via email at foodassistwarwick@actscare.com.au.
