Seymour community food share
Annabelle CLEELAND (Euroa) (09:49): Seymour has also witnessed an exciting initiative to combat and help people under extreme financial pressure in the community. A new monthly food bank program led by Barbara and her team at the centre distributed 50 hampers on its first day. The high demand sadly reflects the impact of the cost-of-living crisis in our region. Our offices have become a crisis meeting point, and the lack of government support for these individuals is devastating. I extend my gratitude to the selfless community-led programs making a real difference.
