Gary Grant, managing director of Accelerate Sport, says, "As a result of the outbreak, many of our communities are struggling to feed their families. As we work tirelessly to help our impacted business and our clients overcome their own business challenges, it is equally important to reach out and help those in need."
"We are always looking for ways to connect with our communities and present a united front of hope, compassion and generosity," adds Grant.
Living Hope aims to combat poverty, hunger and illnesses throughout the city, in conjunction with various community action network groups. To help Living Hope organisation curb the issue of hunger, Accelerate Sport says that it will provide transportation needs to assist in meeting the programme's objectives.
On Friday mornings, Accelerate uses its vehicles that are sponsored VW Commercial Vehicles to transport over 750kg of fresh vegetables from Observatory Brewery to the Living Hope premise.
The vegetables get cleaned and chopped from Living Hope's kitchen facilities and then get distributed on Monday mornings to the local brewery Long Beach Brewery, which uses its vats to make nutritious soup for communities.
Accelerate Sport has appealed to the public to get involved and to donate to Living Hope in whatever way that they can. To learn more about Living Hope’s commitment to the community and how they can donate, individuals are encouraged to visit
