Wayne Smith was the Dealer Principal of City Toyota, which has become one of the most successful Toyota Dealerships in Australia. City Toyota has received the highest accolades for sales, servicing and customer service and recently Wayne was awarded the President’s Award, which is the highest individual accolade awarded by Toyota Australia.

Wayne wanted to find a way to be a good corporate citizen, give back to the community and help people in need. He started www.helpfeed1000.com.au in 2012. His idea was to raise enough money to donate 1000 Foodbank Christmas hampers to 1000 families, and it worked.

Later this changed to www.giveafeed.com.au as they planned to increase the target from helping 1000 families to 2,500 families in need. Wayne and his wife Joanne have two children who help each year to pack the Give a Feed hamper's. As a family, they are always willing to donate their time and resources to help brighten the lives of others in their community, especially those who may be going through challenging times. Wayne believes in leading by example, a value that has contributed to the success of Give a Feed.

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, Aaron had to learn to be good at getting his Mum's attention, and the best way to do that was to make his Mum laugh. Comedy was also a good way to camouflage his struggle with reading and writing. It took a long time for his teachers to work out that he was dyslexic, especially when he was making them laugh. Laughing was also the best way for his family 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 hopefully helping others experience the motivation that comes from receiving and giving kindness. Helping someone at a time of need smile is extremely contagious"
