Dear Friends,
You all know Qld flooded. We cleaned mud and stench from homes at an upmarket leafy suburb of Brisbane and The Wesley Mission production kitchen which feeds thousands of aged care folk every day.
We hosed mud from ceilings, slipped in slime, demolished walls and floors and dumped catering equipment. The smell was incredible, putrid.
Food Strategy isn't special. This is what tens of thousands of volunteers have done and are still doing as you read this. Volunteers have showed up from other states and countries as well as around Queensland.
Walk beside us for a few minutes - Let us take you to 'ground zero' in the war zone of the Qld Floods 2011.
These videos below tell 2 stories:
1) What's going on in the homes of flood victims
2) What restaurant and foodservices businesses are trying to recover from.
It will be the most grounding few minutes you will spend on You Tube.
We don't want your sympathy. We want jobs. Use a Queensland Business.
Please watch - then forward to as many people as you can. Help get our economy moving again.
