1 June is Global Day of Parents. Today we'd like to recognise parents who volunteer in their communities. By volunteering you are showing your children the many benefits of giving your time and skills to help others and your children are more likely to volunteer themselves.

It’s hard to do your best with a hungry belly but too many of our kids are coming to school without breakfast. $800k funding from @marshall_steven Gov will see @Kickstartforkid & @Foodbank_SA deliver breakfast programs in more schools and on more days per week than ever before.
