Last year’s charity donors are this year’s recipients as the cost of living bites
“What we’ve seen this year with the collision between the cost-of-living crisis and an income crisis, combined with natural disasters, is a spike in demand that we’ve never seen before. This is far in excess of the height of COVID,” she said.
At the Wayside Chapel, in Sydney’s Kings Cross, preparations are under way for a Christmas feast, and Reverend Jon Owen expects about 1000 members of the Wayside community to show up. “Unfortunately at the same time as we’ve seen a spike in demand for food relief, we’ve seen a drop-off in supply, so it’s been an incredibly challenging period for Foodbank,” she said.
Harmer said rolling disasters can lead to donor fatigue. But the Salvation Army had noticed that in times of need, people who might not have been philanthropic before decided to help out.
