Rowville electorate

Kim WELLS (Rowville) (14:51): (838) My question is to the Minister for Carers and Volunteers. Can the minister please inform Feed One Feed All, from my electorate in Rowville, what the government is doing to support volunteer organisations like Feed One Feed All, which aim to feed people who are living below the poverty line. Feed One Feed All is an organisation based in Scoresby that aims to address the very serious issue of lack of food and malnutrition in Melbourne’s outer east. Feed One Feed All is doing a fantastic job trying to fix this issue, already on track to provide over 40,000 meals this year alone. However, Lillie and her team cannot do it alone. The state government needs to be supporting fantastic volunteers such as this organisation. I look forward to hearing what the government is planning to do to support the volunteer team at Feed One Feed All.
