Metro Trains<\/a> has made a $100,000 donation to Foodbank Victoria which will provide 200,000 meals to Melbournians who need assistance.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Metro Trains CEO Raymond O\u2019Flaherty said this was a donation led by the organisations people.<\/p>\n

“Foodbank Victoria strongly aligns with our values to support Melburnians who are doing it tough right now due to the rising cost of living,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMetro is proud to support Foodbank Victoria to provide assistance to thousands of community members doing it tough.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been lucky enough to have volunteered at the Yarraville warehouse several times now with the local legends who keep those pallets stacked and the trucks loaded with basic necessities,” she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFoodbank does a phenomenal job feeding Victorians every day when so many can\u2019t afford to feed themselves.\u00a0 I have the utmost respect for Foodbank Victoria\u2019s CEO Dave McNamara, the Foodbank staff and volunteers \u2013 a bunch of unsung heroes.\u201d<\/p>\n
