Leonora food relief strengthened by new partnership
Foodbank WA is delighted to announce an expanded partnership with Genesis Minerals,
strengthening our shared commitment to improving food security and community wellbeing across the Goldfields region.
Over the past year, Genesis Minerals has played a vital role in supporting the transportation of food and essential supplies to Leonora, helping ensure people living in this remote community have reliable access to much-needed food relief.
Their support has been instrumental in enabling regular deliveries and establishing a Foodbank Pantry in Leonora as a trusted and valued resource for local individuals and families experiencing hardship.
Building on this strong foundation, we are excited to take our partnership even further. Through a new commitment, Genesis Minerals will support the ongoing provision of food and essential hygiene products to the Foodbank Pantry located at the Waalitj Foundation Leonora. This support will help ensure community members can continue to access vital assistance close to home, reducing barriers to support and providing greater certainty for those doing it tough.
Importantly, the partnership extends beyond immediate food relief. Genesis Minerals has also committed to funding five nom! nutrition education sessions in Leonora throughout 2027. These practical, hands-on sessions will help participants build confidence in planning and preparing affordable, nutritious meals, while developing skills to make the most of available food resources and support long-term health and wellbeing.
This expanded partnership highlights the power of collaboration in addressing the complex challenges of food insecurity. By investing in both immediate assistance and preventative education, Genesis Minerals is helping to create meaningful and sustainable outcomes for the Leonora community. Together, we are not only helping to put food on tables today but also equipping people with the knowledge and skills to make healthy choices into the future.
We sincerely thank the team at Genesis Minerals for their ongoing generosity, community spirit and shared belief that everyone deserves access to nutritious food. Their partnership is making a tangible difference to the lives of people across the Goldfields, and we look forward to continuing this important work together.
