"Fewer than 25 per cent of Australian children eat the daily recommended serve of vegetables and less than 50 per cent eat enough fruit. Research indicates that about 25 per cent of our children are overweight or obese. At the other end of the spectrum, some children within disadvantaged communities suffer severe hunger and malnutrition, contributing to stunting, hearing problems and other health issues.
Australian Red Cross is working daily to address these kinds of food-related issues. Financial, in-kind and volunteering support from the corporate sector is critical to ensure the ongoing sustainability of programs working to address the health and wellbeing of Australian children."
