Leave a legacy that\u00a0<\/span>fills plates and hearts <\/h1> <\/div>
<\/div> <\/div> <\/section>

At Foodbank SA & NT, we know that the fight against hunger doesn\u2019t end overnight. <\/h4> <\/div> <\/div>

Every day more families are turning to us for help and with demand continuing to rise, we need to plan for the future as much as we respond to the now. <\/p>


<\/p>

<\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/section>

One way you can make a truly lasting difference is by leaving a gift in your Will. <\/h3>

It doesn\u2019t need to be large. Even 1% of your estate, after your loved ones are cared for, can help make sure Foodbank is always here for people doing it tough. It means we can keep our warehouses stocked, our trucks moving and our support reaching communities when disaster strikes, whether it\u2019s fires, floods or the ongoing cost of living crisis. <\/p>

A gift in your Will is a powerful act of hope. It says you believe in a future where no child goes hungry, where families in crisis have somewhere to turn and where no one is left behind. People like Jenny are already making that choice. <\/p>

Jenny has spent her life helping others, as a nurse, community worker and passionate advocate for people doing it tough. Over the years, she has seen firsthand how food insecurity impacts people, especially those experiencing homelessness, mental illness and disadvantage.<\/span> <\/p>

Through her work, Jenny often found herself supporting people in moments of deep vulnerability, those who had run out of options and needed something as simple and essential as a meal. It was in those moments that she saw how something small, like access to food, could restore dignity and hope. <\/p>

That is why she has chosen to leave a gift in her Will to Foodbank SA & NT. <\/p>

\u201cI have seen too many people fall through the cracks,\u201d<\/i> she says. \u201cFoodbank reaches them. They are practical, reliable and they get food to the people who need it most. I want that to continue long after I am gone.\u201d\r<\/i> <\/p>

For Jenny, this decision is not about recognition. It comes from a place of deep compassion and a lifelong commitment to looking out for others. <\/p>

A lifelong garden lover, Jenny also sees her gift as planting something lasting, seeds of support and care that will grow long after she is gone. Her legacy will help ensure families in crisis have somewhere to turn. Her kindness will continue nourishing lives for years to come. <\/p>

\u201cI do not want applause or praise. I just want to do what I can, and I wish I could do more. If even one person reads this and thinks maybe I could leave a bequest too, then it is worth it,\u201d<\/i> said Jenny. <\/p>

If you are considering a gift in your Will to Foodbank SA & NT, feel free to email Beth at fundraising@foodbanksa.org.au or call on (08) 8351 1136 for a confidential chat.\r<\/b> <\/p>

Together we can leave a legacy that feeds generations to come. <\/p>
