I rise today to highlight the invaluable work of the Find a Penny Foundation, located in the suburb of Hampton Park in my electorate. For over 16 years, this organisation has been a steadfast ally in the fight against hunger, poverty and social isolation in our community. During my recent visit, I witnessed firsthand the dedication of BB and her team of volunteers and staff, who tirelessly provide essential services to those in need. Find a Penny serves over 6,000 individuals weekly, providing much-needed meals to those most in need. From street soup kitchens to home deliveries, they have catered to diverse groups such as the homeless, low-income families, refugees and seniors. Their commitment to creating inclusive spaces and providing nutritious food is truly commendable and serves as a beacon of hope for our community. I am proud to support the vital work of the Find a Penny Foundation. The support they provide to thousands of at-risk individuals is irreplaceable. I am proud to represent wonderful charities like the Find a Penny Foundation in the Parliament of Australia.
