100% of every donation helps feed WA families in need.
Give A Feed was founded in 2011 by Wayne Smith and Aaron Pitt to help WA families in need enjoy Christmas. By partnering with Foodbank WA and Rotary WA Clubs Give A Feed has helped more than 38,000 WA families in need and raised over $1,100,000.
With the generous support from the WA community, our goal this year is to provide more than 3,000 Give A Feed Festive Hampers to West Australian families in need so they can celebrate Christmas and not go hungry.
To reach our target we need your support. For just $50 you can help us provide a Christmas food hamper to a WA family in need this Christmas. With the help of Foodbank WA, we turn your $50 donation into a Give A Feed Christmas Hamper which contains ingredients to provide a festive meal for a family of four. Each Christmas hamper is packed by volunteers and distributed by the Foodbank WA network to West Australian families in need just in time for Christmas so they can enjoy Christmas Day and not go hungry.
You can support Give A Feed by donating personally, Gift A Feed on behalf of someone special as a gift, become a Gold Plate Member or get involved as an Honourable Partner. You can even help by simply sharing this with your social network.
Thank you for your support. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.

OUR TEAM
Wayne J. Smith
FOUNDER
Wayne Smith is the dedicated Co-Founder of Give A Feed. In 2025, after almost 15 years of actively heading up the organisation, Wayne took a step back from being actively involved in the administration and daily running of the charity initiative.
While he is no longer actively involved in the day-to-day management as he was when Give A Feed started, Wayne actively dedicates himself to spreading the word and ensures that Give A Feed maintains its core vision of helping WA families in need. His enthusiasm and passion for the mission remain a powerful source of support.
A Legacy of Leadership and Community;
Before co-founding Give A Feed, Wayne was the respected Dealer Principal of City Toyota. Under his leadership, City Toyota became one of Western Australia’s most successful dealerships, consistently earning the highest accolades for sales, servicing, and exceptional customer service.
Wayne's own commitment to excellence was personally recognised with the President’s Award, the highest honour bestowed by Toyota Australia. A true community pillar, Wayne is an active participant in most community events and is always looking for ways to brighten the lives of others, especially those facing challenging times.
The Founding Idea;
Wayne's compassion, shared with his family (Wife Joanne, and their two children), led him to the idea of helping WA families in need with a Foodbank WA Christmas Hamper in 2010.This vision resulted in the founding of www.helpfeed1000.com.au, which quickly evolved into the charity known today as Give A Feed in 2011.
Without Wayne's vision to help families in need, Give A Feed would not exist and be what it is today.
Aaron Pitt
FOUNDER
Growing up in the country with 12 siblings, Aaron excelled at being the classroom clown — and it’s this love of performing that forms the foundation of his career today. "To get noticed in such a large family, I had to learn to be good at getting Mum's attention, and the best way to do that was to make her laugh. Laughing was also the best way to tackle the hard times".
"Throughout my life, I have seen and even been the benefactor of kindness. Give A Feed for me started as a way of saying Thank You, giving back, and helping others experience the motivation that comes from receiving and giving kindness. "Helping someone in a time of need smile is extremely rewarding and very contagious"
Aaron is the Creative Director of Imagination Group, a multimedia production and creative marketing company, and the very proud father of a beautiful little princess.
