The Local Community Food Centre is looking to fundraise $750,000 by next summer.
In a release the campaign has already kicked off with Shackleton’s Real Estate & Auction Co and KDB Law giving $50,000 each.
The campaign for funds comes in response to an increase in food insecurity across the area.
Donations put forward will be used to sustain essential services such as community dinners, mobile food markets and replace outdated kitchen equipment.
Last year Local CFC served 13,800 meals with over 700 bags of fruit given out to emergency shelters.
