Feed the World

Melbourne-based social enterprise PVBS have an appetite for change – and that’s why they’ve partnered with FoodBank Victoria to launch a great new initiative, Hungry 4 Change, to tackle poverty. After funding education projects in Cambodia and Africa, PVBS is going local: one in 10 people in Melbourne struggle to feed their families each week, and that includes low-income and single-parent families. Intent on breaking the poverty cycle, PVBS and FoodBank Victoria are providing basic food boxes to families in need every week – and the good news is that you can help. For every item of PVBS clothing sold, four people can be fed. So hop online and check out the PVBS range of school leaver jackets and jumpers for women, men and children – it’ll satisfy more than just your shopping appetite.
