Foodbank Donations at Kooshy Kids
Bushfire Disaster Relief - Drop Off Point
Kooshy Kids in Aberfeldie (Essendon) Victoria is now an official drop off point for Foodbank Victoria donations.
Foodbank is the only food relief organisation to play a role in times of emergency and natural disasters such as fires, floods and cyclones. Every State and Territory Foodbank is involved in disaster relief, providing essential supplies to support the work of first responders and emergency services as well as giving ongoing assistance to affected communities during the months and years it takes to recover. An example of this is the role Foodbank are playing in the unprecedented bushfire emergency currently gripping Australia.

Foodbank is able to deliver exactly what is needed, when and where it’s needed in order to efficiently and effectively support the relief efforts.
