A Fresh Slice Of Dignity

In times of need, it’s often the selfless actions of individuals and organisations that remind us of the strength of community spirit. This week, the Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre (HCSC) extends its heartfelt thanks to dedicated volunteers, Bevan and David and the incredible support of Ingham selectability for their role in the ongoing bread delivery program made possible by the Second Bite Program.
This program, a lifeline for many struggling individuals and families, ensures bread is collected from local supermarkets and distributed through the Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre. Thanks to this initiative, countless residents in need can enjoy a basic yet vital staple without financial burden.
Bevan and David collect the bread and set it out in the Hinchinbrook Community Support Centres foyer several times a week. Their unwavering commitment has not only reduced food waste but has also brought hope and dignity to those facing hardship.
Equally instrumental in the program’s success is selectability, which has provided logistical support, and resources to keep the initiative running smoothly. Their partnership has been a beacon of generosity, highlighting the importance of collaboration in tackling food insecurity.
“We are incredibly grateful for the work of these amazing volunteers and the backing of Ingham selectability,” says HCSC CEO Linda. “Together, we’ve created a program that’s more than just about bread — it’s about community, compassion, and coming together to lift each other up.”
Local residents have also expressed their gratitude, with one recipient sharing, “It’s not just the bread; it’s knowing someone cares.”
The bread delivery program is a shining example of what can be achieved when individuals and organisations unite for the greater good.
