Swan Hill Food Hub 2025 Anti-Poverty week toiletries drive

Anti-Poverty Week 2025 toiletries drive happened between Sunday 12 October to Saturday 18 October. Anti-poverty week’s purpose is to help Australians understand poverty and to take action collectively to end it. The Swan Hill Food Hub has 18 member agencies which supports over 500 people each month with food and other items.

This year for Anti-poverty week the Swan Hill Food Hub ran  a toiletries drive which is inclusive of toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, conditioner, shampoo, soap, razors, pads, washing powder and toilet paper. These items are ones that we find difficult to get through Food Bank Victoria however are essentials that some people may not be able to afford, so we like to stock these items when possible.

A big thank you to everyone who donated items to the drive we appreciate the diversity in types of toiletries provided. These items will help the Swan Hill Food Hub to provide these items to our community experiencing food insecurity.

Donations are able to be dropped off at Woolworths, Community health -125 Campbell Street and Dandy Lion Studio anytime with non-perishable food or toiletry items
