An appeal for food and gifts to help those struggling has been set up by a couple of Brimbank residents to support the Sunshine Salvation Army.
For a second year, Jamie Ramsay and Duyen Anh Pham have decided to run the appeal to help those in need.
“Speaking with [Sunshine Salvation Army captain] Colin [Reynolds], they have not seen a drop in the required services needed,” Mr Ramsay said.
“There’s still a lot of support required. Brimbank already had high unemployment before COVID-19.
“I grew up in an environment where a few times food was provided from hampers or vouchers when I was younger.
“I’m now in a position where I’m fortunate to give back.”
The pair are aiming to collect perishable food and gifts in line with the Salvation Army Appeal list.
Items can be dropped off DA Place cafe in Sunshine North or Cafe U & I in St Albans by December 15.
“Donations are greatly appreciated and 100 per cent of the items donated will go to the Sunshine Salvos to support local people,” Mr Ramsay said.
