ANIMAL SHELTER DONATIONS REQUIRED

The Ballarat Animal Shelter relies on the generosity of an animal-loving Ballarat community. Currently in Ballarat there are more than 15,000 dogs and more than 6,000 cats registered.

The shelter is currently very low on collars, leads and food (wet or dry). The shelter will also accept donations of treats and toys as well.

Donations are also shared with local not-for-profit agencies which support people in need who have pets to care for, including people who are homeless and fleeing family violence.

Donations can be made at the Ballarat Animal Shelter, Gillingham Place, off Gillies Street, Alfredton, between 9am – 4pm Monday to Friday.

FOOD SAFETY WEEK

Mark Your Calendars for Australian Food Safety Week! From 9 to 16 November 2024, the Food Safety Information Council is hosting Australian Food Safety Week, with this year’s theme: ‘Look before you cook – read the food labels.’

Each year, 4.67 million Australians suffer from food poisoning, leading to 47,900 hospitalisations, 38 deaths, and costing the economy $2.1 billion.

Let’s raise awareness and help reduce these numbers by following simple food safety practices—like checking the safety instructions on packaged foods before you cook.

Want to get involved? Head over to the Food Safety Information Council’s website, where you can download and share social media tiles, email banners, and posters to spread the word. You can also register a local event to help drive awareness in your community!
