Eastern Victoria Region
Renee HEATH (Eastern Victoria) (12:50): (1607) My question is for the minister for families and fairness. A local food relief centre is facing growing demand, not just from unemployed people but from people who are working and simply cannot make ends meet. Last week they were nearly empty within an hour of opening, and now they have to wait another two weeks for Foodbank Victoria to make a new delivery. Despite applying for grants, they were unsuccessful due to high demand in food bank centres. Minister, how many food relief centres across Eastern Victoria Region have applied for government grants over the past 12 months, and how many were successful?
