Wouldn’t it be great if our community could proudly say that?

Sadly the need for food banks is rising everywhere across the country - and Cortes is at the sharp end.

As costs of everything rise - EVERY section of our community is being pushed over the edge and into food poverty.

Food Banks are of course not the solution - but they are needed when other systems are failing.

We are in a crisis situation and need all the help we can get for the coming year.

We will need funds to buy food supplies for the coming year - and particularly the next six months.

That’s why we are using our virtual food drive to raise money.

We appreciate that everyone is feeling the financial strain, but If you are in a position to help in any way (or if you know someone who can) - your community would appreciate it.

Help us realize a vision where we all help each other through tough times.

Nobody Goes Hungry on Cortes!

Thank You!
