100% of every donation helps feed WA families in need.
Give A Feed was founded in 2011 by Wayne Smith and Aaron Pitt to help WA families in need enjoy Christmas. By partnering with Foodbank WA and Rotary WA Give A Feed has helped more than 30,000 WA families in need and raised over $900,000.
With the generous support from the WA community, our goal this year is to provide more than 3,000 Give A Feed Festive Hampers to West Australian families in need so they can celebrate Christmas and not go hungry. Although this number seems like a lot, it sadly falls short of the number of people who may be going without food on Christmas Day; a figure estimated to currently be more than 120,000 West Australian households.
To reach our target we need your support. For just $50 you can help us provide a Christmas food hamper to a WA family in need this Christmas. With the help of Foodbank WA, we turn your $50 donation into a Give A Feed Christmas Hamper which contains ingredients to provide a festive meal for a family of four. Each Christmas hamper is packed by volunteers and distributed by the Foodbank WA network to West Australian families in need just in time for Christmas so they can enjoy Christmas Day and not go hungry.
You can support Give A Feed by donating personally, Gift A Feed on behalf of someone special as a gift, become a Gold Plate Member or get involved as an Honourable Partner. You can even help by simply sharing this with your social network.
Thank you for your support. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.

OUR TEAM

Wayne came up with the idea to help WA families in need with a Foodbank WA Christmas Hamper in 2010, founding www.helpfeed100.com.au, which evolved into Give A Feed in 2011.
Aaron Pitt
FOUNDER
Growing up in the country with 12 siblings, Aaron excelled at being the classroom clown — and it’s this love of performing that forms the foundation of his career today. "To get noticed in such a large family, I had to learn to be good at getting Mum's attention, and the best way to do that was to make her laugh. Laughing was also the best way to tackle the hard times".
"Throughout my life, I have seen and even been the benefactor of kindness. Give A Feed for me started as a way of saying Thank You, giving back, and helping others experience the motivation that comes from receiving and giving kindness. "Helping someone in a time of need smile is extremely rewarding and very contagious"
Aaron is the Creative Director of Imagination Group, a multimedia production and creative marketing company, and the very proud father of a beautiful little princess.
