reduce foo(1 waste from food distribution centres and supermarkets. Food and e5seiitials are collected
directly from our distributors and utili2ed to support families and individuals who are struggling with the
increased cost of living. This in return eliminates the waste the food distribution cer)tres and
supermarkets have as all donations are used.
Our mission is to support anyone who feels they can benefft from the services we offer, individuals do
not need to provide any proof or infomiation in ￿gardS to their turrent Sbtuation and we would not turn
anyone away. Food packages that are packed on a weekly basis and distributed from the Pantry are
between 150- 170. Christmas alone meant VR were able to distribute enough food to provide 931,840
meals.

During 2022, we have formed relationships with other organisations and schools which has given us
direct access to those in need providing them with effKient, prompt, and efferttve support and have
recently collaborated with a number of businesses who have provided financial and practical support to
enable us to secure a storage Lsnit which will enable the expansion of support to more individuals and
families each week. The unit has been f￿ed with a walk-in chiller and freezer and plans to be fullv

Our achievements have resulted in it being recognised for its work it does for others during these
