No stranger to The Phatt, it was great to have Michelle Murphy, CEO of Bendigo Foodshare back with us to talk about the traditional Easter Book Fair fundraiser, with somewhere around 20,000 books available from Good Friday to Easter Monday at McGilvray Hall (Bendigo TAFE). But as always for The Phatt, Brett and Keith also chatted with Michelle about the huge 10 million kilos of food that has gone through Foodshare to communities, their work in supporting the emergency responders and those who were (and still are) impacted by the Harcourt bushfires, and the continued development of their Golden Square home.
There's a reason why Michelle is one of the favourite guests on The Phatt and today's conversation continued to amaze us on The Phatt in terms of the incredible work Michelle, the staff, and the army of volunteers and partners do through Bendigo Foodshare.
