RRT Food Boxes

Working with people in crisis is at the heart of what we do at the Rapid Relief Team (RRT), and in 2019, we launched an innovative initiative, RRT Food Boxes, to provide immediate relief when it is needed most.

After wanting to do more for families and individuals affected by domestic violence, RRT designed the Food Box which provides emergency food supplies for people and families in need, and now supports people from low socio-economic backgrounds, and those in crisis.

The RRT Food Box contains a variety of non-perishable, long-life food and can feed a family of four for up to 48 hours.

"Two guys delivered an RRT Family Food Box and it helped me out immensely. I would have been in a really tough situation without this support, which I was fortunate enough to receive twice – once when I was in quarantine, and the second time when I was just out of quarantine. It was great to have an organisation reach out and help me. I contacted the big organisations and because I didn’t have a Centrelink CRN, they wouldn’t help me. RRT – you guys do a great job!"
