Thank you to all our contributors

Paynesville's Foodbank is supported by Bendigo Bank as part of their Community Partnership Sponsorship program.

Thank you to the Paynesville Uniting Church for providing a space for us to run Foodbank and other food security programs.

Paynesville IGA has been helping us greatly by collecting donations in store.

A very big thank you for making all this possible goes out to all our volunteers, staff, to everyone who makes donations and to the local community for supporting us.
