The Murray community contributed to the Anti-Poverty Week Community Food Drive during the month of September, donating an incredible amount of non-perishable food items, toiletries, and personal hygiene products to help those in need.

The Shire of Murray delivered donations to the Pinjarra Community Kitchen on Tuesday 13 October.

Shire of Murray President, Douglas McLarty, said the donations will help feed people experiencing homelessness or severe financial hardship.

“The Murray community has once again rallied behind the Food Drive to help those doing it tough,” said President McLarty.

“This year saw plenty of contributions received. We have been told the volume of donations should help keep the Pinjarra Community Kitchen stocked for many months to come.”

“Thank you to everyone who generously donated, and if you’d like to help further, the Pinjarra Alliance Church accepts donations of household items and food for those who need it,” added President McLarty. 

The food drive is an annual initiative run by the Shire of Murray.
