Foodbank is Australia’s largest hunger relief charity, operating in 5 states and 7 regions. Last year it distributed 15 million kilos of donated food, which made 18 million meals and fed 38,000 people a day.
Foodbank is operated by 45 staff and an army of volunteers around the country, and has a goal of 20 million kilograms of donated food by 2010.
As the pantry of the welfare sector, with 1,700 welfare agency members, Foodbank guarantees that all donated food goes directly to people who would otherwise go hungry

 

With the help of Network Video we have been able to expand the Cans4Films Festival to hundreds of video stores across Australia. Network stores are locally owned and operated and the sense of community is evident in their support for this charity event.

DeVoteD DVD is where the Cans4Films Festival started. DeVoteD DVD is located in Mill Park north of Melbourne and has over 15,000 movies and over 2,000 games for hire. Showing real community spirit, DeVoteD DVD has helped this event expand from one store helping their local community to a nation wide event helping Foodbank support people in need all over Australia.

It is always great when a company comes to you and says “I love the event and want to help out”. The fantastic team at Kiandra Systems Solutions have created this amazing website to enable people from all over Australia to find out about and participate in this event. If you are after I.T. professionals, give these guys a call. I think the workmanship of this site speaks for itself.
