We said yes to helping end hunger in the Shoalhaven

People suffer from disadvantage due to factors like poverty, lack of education, discrimination, and limited access to resources. Systemic issues, health challenges, and social inequalities also contribute, trapping individuals in cycles of hardship. These factors reduce opportunities, impacting quality of life and the ability to achieve stability and success.

The Salt Foundation addresses disadvantage by providing essential services, such as food, shelter, and education. Through community programs, job training, and partnerships, Salt empowers individuals to overcome hardship, build skills, and achieve stability, creating pathways out of disadvantage and fostering long-term resilience and self-sufficiency.

The main demographic for people suffering from disadvantage includes low-income families, single-parent households, Indigenous communities, people with disabilities, and marginalised groups. Youth, elderly individuals, and those in rural or underserved areas also face higher risks of disadvantage due to limited access to resources, education, and employment opportunities.

You can assist someone living with disadvantage by offering support, connecting them to local resources, or providing essentials like food and clothing. Volunteering, donating to community programs, or offering job opportunities can also make a meaningful impact. Empathy and listening are crucial in understanding and addressing their needs.

The "I Said Yes" campaign began as a response to the growing needs within our community, where Salt has been making a difference since 2011. Recognising that small, consistent contributions can create lasting change, we launched this campaign to inspire individuals to say "yes" to helping others.

By encouraging donations of just $10 per week, the campaign empowers donors to play a vital role in supporting those facing homelessness, disadvantage, addiction, and more, making a collective impact on countless lives.

Salt was founded in 2011 in Bomaderry, NSW, in response to the increasing social challenges within the local community. Initially focused on addressing the immediate needs of those facing disadvantage, Salt quickly expanded its programs to include support for individuals experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, addiction, and other crises.

Over the years, Salt has grown into a cornerstone of the community, providing essential services, fostering connections, and empowering individuals and families to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
