Estelle has been volunteering at Addi Road Food Pantry Marrickville for the last year. “It’s been fun,” she says. “The people are nice. There’s such a variety of people from all steps of life who volunteer here … “
“There is more to it than the hampers. We’re helping people, and we’re helping one another. We’re bringing people together. Helping people has different meanings to different people,” Matthew says sagely. “It helped me just to be here.”
“I just love the vibe here. I’ve been coming down to Addi Road, packing emergency hampers for the last week… Anyone can help, whether you’re a professional or involved with a local club. That is why Craig Foster’s #PlayForLives campaign is so great. It’s rallying all of us.” – Kieren Jack
“The people I work with are already socially isolated. They can handle that, But they can’t handle the panic happening out there.”
Gumbramorra Hall has been re-purposed as a production and distribution centre, where our wonderful staff and volunteers are preparing emergency food hampers. These hampers will be given to NGOs and charity groups to deliver to their most vulnerable and isolated community members and to people who are unable to visit and shop at the Addi Road Food Pantry.
