We are calling on all willing farmers and their communities to register their need for assistance or to donate their time, produce or resources.
The initiative has been dubbed the ‘Farmy Army’ and is part of a long-term plan to help coordinate a response for farmers and communities in their time of need anywhere in Victoria. The VFF will act as link between those offering help and farmers requiring assistance.
How you can get involved:
Volunteer your time/ need assistance
If you are willing and able to offer any assistance or are in need of assistance yourself, please click this link to register your interest and we will get in touch with you.
Donate needed produce
Please see below details of how you can donate to agencies throughout the state to be utilised when needed.
Donations of staple items, boxes of fruit and vegetables is preferred, with longer lasting vegetables favoured given their longer shelf life and durability.
