Victorian food charities report helping people in numbers never seen before

Food charities in Victoria say the number of people experiencing food insecurity has “skyrocketed” and includes hundreds who previously did not need the extra support.

Melbourne charity, Reaching Out In the Inner West of Melbourne, hands out free meals every Monday in the Nicholson St Mall of Footscray.

Its founder Randa Beirouti says more than 500 people arrive to receive a cooked meal in a single day, compared to about 200 during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
