        <text id="2014101433f9aeb691574e4780001039">In 2013-14, Foodbank SA piloted the Community Foodbank model with UnitingCare Wesley Bowden and over the last 12 months they have provided more than 54 tonnes of food to over 7,600 people. The Department for Communities and Social Inclusion does not hold information on the number of vouchers provided in this period as no funding was provided from the department.</text>
        <text id="2014101433f9aeb691574e4780001040">Government funding for the expansion of the Community Foodbank Program commenced in 2014-15.</text>
        <text id="2014101433f9aeb691574e4780001041">Although there is currently no data available on which to base projections for 2014-15, it is expected that the new Community Foodbank outlets will reflect a similar level of service delivery to UnitingCare Wesley Bowden.</text>
