How to Give Back To Your Community Whilst Moving

When you are moving, you will pack the things you need. However, there will still be many things you cant carry. While it’s a great idea to use up as many of the perishables as you possibly can before moving out, there’s a good chance you still have a lot left when the day finally arrives. Regardless of the time of year, your local food bank will be more than thrilled to receive these items. They will give them to the needy, ensuring something good comes out of them. 

A Few Ways to Give Back To Your Community

1. Donate To Local Food Banks

Hunger is one of the most significant issues that both adults and children worldwide have to deal with, including your community. Local food banks desperately need money and food to help feed these people. As the moving day arrives and you pack up all items in your kitchen, things like packaged and canned foods are incredibly heavy and inconvenient to pack. Your local food bank can benefit greatly if you donate these products to them. 

You can save a significant amount of time and effort packing items you don’t necessarily need. Pack up all these perishables and stop people from going hungry. There are food banks in Australia that come and pick up your donations. However, if you can’t deliver these goods yourself or find a food bank that comes to collect them, you can ask your local church or grocery store if they organize food drives. Help several people from going hungry by donating a single grocery bag. Food banks require items such as:

• Canned stews and soups
• Canned vegetables and fruits
• Canned tuna
• Baby food
• Cereal, oatmeal, flour, rice
• Jams and jellies
• Pasta and sauce
• Canned beans
• Peanut butter

2. Volunteer at Your Local Hospital

Although hospitals might not be the most pleasant place to volunteer, people still get sick daily. Some encouragement goes a long way in helping them recover. Besides, the workers at the hospital could also benefit from your help. You can spend time watching over patients, working with children, or helping serve food. This is a great way to give back to your community before moving out.

A few additional ways you can help your community include:

• Organising a charity event
• Giving back to your school
• Coaching your local team
