The Halls Head Football and Netball Club has partnered with Backpack Buddies, a Bridge Builders program that provides food packs to children facing food insecurity. Their junior girls’ team will wear jerseys with the charity’s logo throughout the season, raising awareness every time they play. The initiative was funded by a grant and supported by the club’s committee. Beyond the jerseys, older girls’ teams donated $500 to Backpack Buddies after a pre-season tournament. Club junior president Mark Neeson said the move was about standing behind something meaningful, while Bridge Builders CEO Kelly Hinder praised the partnership as an example of community leadership. The club also plans a community food drive later this year.
