Empower

Dear John, Pam and South Melbourne Rotary Club, 

We would like to thank you for your partnership and significant
contribution to our Food Relief Response this year! 

Thanks to the generosity of our partners, we have been able to help provide the
equivalent of 259,000 meals to those in need from February - June 2020. 
 
Participant Testimonials

"I lost my job, and it's been so difficult being away from my family... I'm really grateful for this. You don't know what this means to me. This morning I felt sad, worried and a little depressed but I still decided to come to Empower. Since I have been here talking with you and receiving this food, I have felt happy again, grateful and welcome. I know that I am not alone." 

"As an international student, it has not been easy but I am grateful to receive fresh and good quality food through Empower. On top of that, I am also so glad to receive not only food but also the love and support of the entire team with their service."
