Tomorrow is the big day! As part of our SA Gives appeal, we’re asking you to share what you CAN and donate a CAN of food at one of our collection points across Adelaide, Friday 3 December. And while you're there, say hello to your favourite ABC presenters too!
Together, we can help end hunger this holiday season. |

Tomorrow, we'll have collection locations right across Adelaide to make it easy for you to share what you CAN.
Your favourite ABC Radio Adelaide presenters will be at selected donation locations on Friday: Ali Clarke will broadcast the Brekky show live from the Adelaide Railway Station, Sonya Feldhoff will be at Castle Plaza, Jules Schiller at Victoria Park, Peter Goers at Kurralta Park, Spence Denny at O’Connell St and Deb Tribe at Foodbank Woodville.
Collection points are designed so you can easily ‘drop and go’ and be as COVID-safe as possible. |

| The Great CAN Construction |
|
To celebrate the launch of SA Gives, ABC Radio and Foodbank SA constructed an art installation of thousands of cans under the iconic Adelaide Oval scoreboard.
ABC Adelaide's Ali Clarke and Jules Schiller, along with Foodbank's Ambassadors from the Port Adelaide Football Club, Masterchef’s Mandy Hall and Olympic Cyclist Alex Porter pitched in to give us a hand to help end hunger this holiday season. |

| Want to donate after Friday 3 December? |
|
Don’t worry, you CAN still help Foodbank right through December and beyond.
Selected locations will be open for donations of non-perishable food until the end of December.
You can donate online until early January. Just $1 will provide two meals for hungry South Aussies. |

Every month, about 135,000 hungry South Australians rely on the Foodbank charity for groceries, as the negative impacts of rising living costs and COVID-19 continue to hit home.
Alarmingly, a national Foodbank survey has estimated that 1.2 million children are going hungry every week.
Public donations are important to keep the food relief charity stocked with a variety of meals and following what has been a difficult year for so many, to prevent those in need being turned away this Christmas. |
