A long-time supporter of Foodbank’s Geraldton branch, Iluka has played a pivotal role in helping expand services across regional and remote communities and respond to growing demand throughout the Mid West. 

Thanks to their support, Cath from Foodbank’s nom! Nutrition Education team has been delivering a series of engaging nutrition education sessions in Geraldton. Covering practical topics such as budgeting, meal planning, healthy eating and money-saving tips, the sessions equip participants with valuable skills they can put into practice at home. Each session also includes a hands-on cooking component, giving attendees the opportunity to prepare and enjoy delicious, nutritious recipes together. 

The October sessions proved a huge success, receiving an impressive 10 out of 10 rating from participants. Some of their favourite aspects of the program included: “Loved the cooking and easy recipes,”“Connecting with people,” and “Budget tips, recipe ideas and sharing meals together.” 

With two more sessions scheduled in November and another two in December, even more community members will have the opportunity to benefit from the program before the end of the year. 

Iluka’s support extends beyond funding. 

Members of the Iluka team also regularly volunteer at Foodbank’s Perth Airport branch, lending a hand in the Community Kitchen and Warehouse to help deliver food and support to those who need it most. 

Together, this partnership is helping strengthen food security across the Mid West, providing practical support and education that empowers individuals and families to make the most of their food budgets during a time of rising living costs. We are incredibly grateful to Iluka for their continued commitment to building stronger, healthier and more resilient communities across Western Australia.
