00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: It's such a wonderful, wonderful thing that Food Bank do

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: each and every year. And you know, they really do

19
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: need the support of some of our major territory businesses

20
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: and it doesn't get much bigger than in and I'm

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: sure that they were so grateful when you guys came

22
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: on board as a sponsor.

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: We've been a long standing supporter of Food Bank. Our

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 2: employees have driven it for many years. As an organization.

25
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: We've been fortunate enough to be droping the donation of

26
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: a forklift and a barbecue trailer through our directly or

27
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: through our contractors. But it's the five hundred families we're

28
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: part of the community, So being able to support through

29
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: our employees their families, it's great to be able to

30
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 2: make that contribution.

31
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: And like you said, it's you know, quite often it's

32
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: not when you do sponsor an organization like food Bank,

33
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: it's it's not just about sort of the sponsorship, it's

34
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: also about those other things that you can help them

35
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: out with and as you've said, even you know, a

36
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: forklift and things like that. It's a wonderful, wonderful support.

37
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: Been part of the business community. If we all pull

38
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: together and pull in the same direction, we will contribute

39
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: a lot to the community and the society where we live.

40
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: And we like doing that as impects, we feel really

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: privileged to be part of the Northern Territory community and

42
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: we we're networking together.

43
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: That's great. Yeah, Now your employees obviously they're keen to

44
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: be part of this as well, No doubt they're keen

45
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: to make some donations to the food bank crew with

46
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: the non perishable items.

47
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely, for many years, our employees have driven our donations

48
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: through the food Bank. We have five hundred families be

49
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: out and about. Even our own family, the children love

50
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: to get down to Cole's, I Ga and Woolworth put

51
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: some things in the trolley and drop them in the beans.

52
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: I reckon it's so important as well for our kids

53
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: to realize that not everybody, you know, not everybody on

54
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: Christmas Day wakes up and just has everything, you know,

55
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: everything there that they might want. And there are so

56
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: many territory families at the moment that are going through

57
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: a tougher period than what they maybe would have had

58
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: COVID not struck. And I just think it's a really

59
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: important thing for us to teach our kids as well

60
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: that you know that you've got to give back.

61
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely, there's a lot of lessons in giving for everybody,

62
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: and we get a lot out of giving, teaching our

63
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 2: children to give, and being part of a community of

64
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 2: which we give grows, the community enhances where we live.

65
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 2: But the most important thing is there's vulnerable people and

66
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: on Christmas Day to be able to put a smile

67
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 2: on a family's face through something that you've been able

68
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: to purchase and put in the bins or donate as

69
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: fantastic just knowing that when you wake up, you've been

70
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: able to help and that's what we want to do.

71
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, well, well done to Impacts obviously for the

72
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: support that you guys are giving to food Bank, and

73
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: as we know, food Bank do a phenomenal job now

74
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: they do. Last year it was seven hundred and fifty hampers.

75
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: They're trying to get to one thousand for this year.

76
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: What do you reckon?

77
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: Well, I think we're going to get there. I think

78
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: the Northern Territory is going to step up and we

79
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: are going to get there everyone else. If we all

80
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: all the Impacts families, if we've put a few extra

81
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: things in the trolley, we'll help with it with five

82
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: hundred families, a few a few more hampers. Yeah, we'll

83
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: get there.

84
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,160
