President’s Report

Welcome everyone and thanks for your time and interest in Liberation LarderLiberation larder is a Byron Bay based volunteer run organization that’s mission is to help feed and sustain those in our community who find themselves without a home or in need of that extra bit of help to get by in what can be very financially trying times.

We do this by rescuing food from the many generous local businesses and individuals of our shire .The food is collected by a team of volunteers operating 7days a week.Mondays and Thursdays see more of our talented volunteers turn this rescued food into over 300 nutritious meals on each day as well as handouts of fresh produce and other donated grocery items.

All up last year our team of over 50 volunteers created over 30,000 meals plus grocery handouts from over 60,000 kg of rescued food and grocery itemsWe also donate food to Fletcher St Cottage, The Byron Youth Activities Centre, The Brunswick Heads Breakfast Service and other food distribution services when their needs arise.Liberation Larder does all this without any government funding relying solely upon the generosity of our local businesses and community members to keep us financially viable and I thank those that contribute to our cause with all my heart.I would like to end my report with the greatest appreciation for our volunteers that if not for their dedication to the Liberation Larder Cause our all important contributions to the  community would be non existent. All our vollies carry out their respective tasks with a great sense of “wanting to help those in need”. The collectors rescuing food and groceries to the crew that work on the Monday and Thursday creating the amazing meals and those sorting and distributing the food and groceries as well as those who help clean up at the end of each day all done with an amazing level of efficiency at the same time with a smile and the feeling that “they want to be there.” Not forgetting those team members who step up as coordinaters and committee members to give a guiding hand to our well oiled machine.

As president my main job is to just keep out of the way and let our teams magic happen.

Cheers John Morgan

President
