PERTH Hills residents are being called to donate before a community campaign to feed people in need finishes on August 8.

The breakfast blitz is a campaign organised between ABC Radio Perth and the community support service provider Uniting WA to feed people experiencing homelessness.

The campaign has had a strong response in the Perth Hills with a big quantity of food collected at a single Kalamunda drop off point during the campaign’s July 21 launch.

Kalamunda MLA Adam Hort said the incredible spirit shown by Perth Hills residents already made a difference but there was still a chance to go even further in supporting those who need it most.

“On the very first day, we filled two 150-litre tubs – that’s an incredible effort, and it shows the heart of our Perth Hills community,” he said.

“But we’re not done yet – there’s no set target, because the need doesn’t have a limit.

“The more we collect, the more we can do to help people waking up hungry right here at home.

“ If you’re heading to the shops this week, grab an extra item – cereal, long-life milk, tea bags, tinned spaghetti, and drop it into our office in Kalamunda Central.

“A small gesture collectively can make a big difference.

“Let’s show the rest of WA that when it comes to lending a hand, the Perth Hills always steps up and leads the way.”

The campaign has called for donations of non-perishable items only that are not past their expiry date and will not be accepting fresh food donations.

Donations will be delivered to Tranby engagement hub which is Perth’s only crisis support centre for adults experiencing homelessness which operates during all days of the year.

According to Uniting WA, Tranby provided 147,785 meals during the 2023-24 financial year and as cost of living continues to rise, families are now a growing cohort seen at the hub.

Perth Hills residents interested in donating food during the breakfast blitz may drop off their non-perishable items at Kalamunda MLA Adam Hort’s office at Shop 9, 39 Railway Road.
