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.

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

"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

Every day our team gives out emergency food to relief to individual and families who are in desperate need. This is why we are so overwhelmed by the community’s generosity in donating to the Pantry Appeal. It’s so appreciated and needed. Thank you 💙 bit.ly/2uXf2vM

Current levels of income security are creating entrenched poverty. They are not fulfilling either of their functions of preventing people falling into chronic poverty, nor are they an effective incentive to assist people to achieve paid employment #RaisetheRate #Budget2018

Generosity of community is heartwarming & essential when Govt and market fail but charity should not be what people rely on - #RaiseTheRate, set up independent authority to set income support payment levels & fix employment services. Create jobs not poverty. @ACOSS @AnglicareACT xitter.gq/adriennefranci1/status…
