Consistency is key

The cost-of-living crisis has ravaged Western Australians for more than four years where individuals have been subjected to price hikes, inflation, and supply chain constraints, making what were once staple pantry goods less affordable, or at times too difficult to access.

Thanks to a very generous contribution from VGW Holdings, we will be able to significantly expand our range of shelf stable products. The current range includes 20 staple products and thanks to this funding we will now be able to offer an additional 38 items to better support our customers.

This expansion allows us to provide a more diverse and inclusive product range that reflects the cultural, dietary, and nutritional needs of our community. We’re focusing on allergen-friendly options and culturally relevant staples to ensure we can support everyone who turns to us for help.

Our customer shopping experience is heavily reliant on very generous donations from producers, farmers and manufacturers. Recognising that some level of consistency for shelf stable items was important for our customers, we have wanted to expand out range of essential products for a long time, however the right level of funding was difficult to secure.

We are thrilled that we can now expand our range of essential products to ensure a constant supply of these items for our customers no matter what day of the week it is. Just some of the products already added includes oats, black tea, lactose-free UHT full cream milk, hygiene products, dishwashing liquid and laundry powder.

We can’t wait to see the rest of the range rolled out in July, thank you VGW Holdings, watch this space.

Hunger is closer than you think. Help us feed change this winter.
