We're so pleased to win the @FundInstituteAu Impact on a Shoestring award - thank you! But we couldn't do any of it without the amazing support of the #Canberra community who are always willing to help out 😊

Such fun for the Leigh family to spend Christmas with the other volunteers at St Johns Care Reid, serving lunch to vulnerable Canberrans. People like Pam are the bedrock of our community.
A big thank you to all our #ChristmasLunch volunteers, including @ALeighMP, Gwen and their boys who came to help. We couldn't do it without so much support from the #Canberra community!
Thank you to everyone who joined us for #Christmas Lunch today! Guests and volunteers alike made it a beautiful day, showing some of the best of the #Canberra Community.
A huge thank you @Australian_Pork for your generous donation once again. It was well enjoyed by the many who joined us at our #Christmas Community Lunch today as well as some leftovers to support those doing it tough in the New Year. Merry Christmas!

We know the holidays can be quite isolating and stressful for some people. That’s why it is important that we give back & support great events like the @stjohnscare Christmas day lunch. The donation today of 9 #aussiehams will feed over 350 people this Xmas! #thegreatestgift

Congratulations to Flo Young, winner of the 2019 @anglicare_aust Volunteer Achievement Award! Flo has volunteered at Sapphire Surprises, an op shop and emergency relief provider in #Eden NSW, for over 25 years. A huge thanks to Flo from us at @AnglicareACT!
Thanks @ACOSS for this great clear explanation of #Newstart. Many of our clients receive this payment and can't make ends meet (we're Emergency Relief, they wouldn't need us otherwise). There's not enough for food and shelter, let alone an unexpected expense or emergency.
Not OK, the threat of eviction and homelessness is far too real for many of our clients, and similarly the fear of final notices and debt collectors. Campaign by all means, but retraumatising people whose lives are hard enough already crosses the line.
Thank you @city_news for your support. We desperately need supplies to help Canberra families struggling as the weather gets colder. Please donate groceries if you can, or online at givenow.com.au/stjohnscare. Thank you! <3
The shelves at Canberra's largest emergency food charity, St John’s Care at Reid, are almost bare and management is reporting an urgent lack of supplies to support an increasing number of people in need, reports KATE MEIKLE. citynews.com.au/2019/communi…

"People are being forced into survival mode. They have to choose whether to put food on the table, seek work or pay their rent" - @JeremyHalcrow, Anglicare ACT CEO. Data released today in the #RentalSnapshot2019 shows that rentals are unaffordable for most low income earners.

Thank you Brooke for sharing your story. She has a steady public service job but a relationship breakdown forced her to move with her 3 children into a caravan park because she was not able to find an affordable rental. She says she still wouldn't have managed without Anglicare.

Anglicare Australia's #RentalSnapshot2019 shows we desperately need more social housing to put a roof over the head of every Australian. We're backing @_EverybodysHome and their call for 300,000 new public and social homes. Find out more » anglicare-ras.com
