The Golden Plains Local Food Network has partnered with Give Where You Live Foundation to bring their Community Choice Voucher initiative to the Golden Plains Shire.
Supported by members of the Local Food Network including representatives form Give Where You Live Foundation, Hesse Rural Health, and Golden Plains Shire, this program provides essential assistance to individuals in the community who are facing hardships.
The program ensures access to fundamental needs such as food and medication, while also giving local businesses an opportunity to be part of the solution. Two local businesses are now participating in the voucher program: Shazza’s Fruit and Veggies and Terry White Chemist Bannockburn.
Community members can now redeem their Community Choice food vouchers at these businesses, ensuring local access to food essentials and prescription medication.
