We celebrated the launch of three new projects, making a total of 40 projects so far with an expectation to hit at least 50 by next year. Keynote Speaker Matt Barlow UK CE Christians Against Poverty inspired all at our packed conference, urging us as Christians to "get out of our comfort zone" and see Jesus do amazing things through foodbanks.
