What do you do when you have leftover food?
According to foodbank.org.au:
In Australia, 7.6 million tonnes of food is wasted every year.
While 70% of this food is still perfectly edible, 1 in 6 Australian adults haven’t had enough to eat in the last year.
On top of this, 1.2 million children have gone hungry during the same period.
So what should you do with leftover food?

Today is Close the Gap Day, a time for us to reflect on the progress that has been made in healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and the work that still needs to be done.
What part can you play in closing the gap?
1. Know what the gap is and why it matters!
2. Listen to the stories of First Nations peoples who have experienced the gap.
3. Pledge to educate yourself more about the issues.
4. Tell the community about the gap and what we can do to support change.
