2019 Pitch
Funds raised: $12,900
During her pitch at TFN Adelaide, Mel from Puddle Jumpers spoke about the hardships faced by too many kids in Adelaide and how it can affect the trajectory of their lives. She pitched for funding to run camps for children who are currently separated from their parents and are at risk of homelessness.
The Impact…
COVID-19 has unfortunately put a hold on holiday camps, but demand for Puddle Jumpers’ food relief programs has increased by 300%. The funding raised at TFN Live has helped to feed 1000 families per week at nine different COVID safe drive-through locations across Adelaide (previously there was one location supporting about 300 families).
