Asmall idea from staff at the Grant District Council had a big impact for community members in need.

Employees William Parker and Jake Turner proposed the idea to host a ‘Casual for a Cause Day’ at the organisation in an effort to bring the working team together and brighten the holiday period for those experiencing disadvantage.

Late last year the council workforce rallied in support and filled a total of 10 bags with non-perishable items, equating to 62.5 kilograms of food and 125 meals.

All items were delivered to Foodbank Limestone Coast on the same day just in time for families throughout the community to enjoy for Christmas.

A council spokesperson said council was extremely pleased with the efforts of all staff who contributed and acknowledged the hard work Foodbank Limestone Coast does to support the local community.
