Mrs. Billingsley plus two Year 8 students, Emma Baker and Amy Harrison, went to the CBD, St George’s Terrace on Wednesday. They participated in a ‘food rescue’ program run by Uniting Care West. They picked up a food cart, going from café to café collecting up leftover food.
Food Rescue saves surplus perishable, nutritious food that would otherwise find its way into landfill and redistribute to those in need.
