Girl Guides relieve hunger in SA
This year Girl Guides SA has chose to support Foodbank SA throughout our 2011 Biscuit campaign.
For every $3.00 donation we received we will in-turn support Foodbank SA with one packet of Guide biscuits to assist in relieving hunger in South Australia.
Thank you to all who supported two organisations with one tax deductible donation! 
FOODBANK SA
What is Foodbank SA?
Foodbank SA is the largest hunger relief organisation in South Australia.
They are a not-for-profit organisation that acts as a conduit between the food and grocery industry's donations and the welfare sectors needs.
Surplus or donated food is collected from the food companies and delivered to their distribution centre. Welfare agencies then collect the food and distribute it to people requiring food relief either in the form of meals or food parcels.
This year Foodbank SA will supply close to 1.5 million kilograms of food and groceries to over 500 community welfare groups in South Australia. This will provide more than two million meals to people in need.
