Australia is a country that offers many opportunities to its citizens, hence many do not see those who are in desperate need of help just to put food on the table for their children. A couple in the city of Bankstown; itself was known as the most multicultural city in Australia, saw there was a gap in the support offered to families who struggle to purchase food to eat. In 2015 a dream was born to feed the hungry, help the afflicted, and lighten the sorrow of all peoples in the community. As Australian Muslims, they wanted to spread peace and hope through a unified love while breaking down the walls of bigotry, and racism; helping all, regardless of race, colour, or religion.
Wanting to give back to the country they both loved, together they approached several businesses for sponsorship. Once they found a butcher to provide starving families with fresh meat, and a green-grocer agreeing to provide fresh fruit and vegetable this same couple started a Facebook page, and Giving Back Australia was born. Operating out of a garage together this couple began putting together food packs and delivering fresh meat, fruit, and vegetables from the boot of their car; they began delivering food to the door of needy families throughout Sydney. Today Giving Back Australia runs several programs from supplying food, to assistance with utility bills through to a getting of drugs program.
