Pumpkins help to deliver comfort and care 

Thais is holding a pumpkin while Kath holds a magic wand, pretending to turn the pumpkin into something magical.

Following a recent trip to the Coral Coast, our wonderful friends from Carnarvon Growers have generously donated several bins of fresh pumpkins.

In December alone, we received 1,168kg of both Butternut pumpkins and the Kent variety. 

This incredible gesture means more Western Australians can enjoy nutritious meals made with locally grown produce. 

Pumpkins are a versatile staple that can be transformed into a dish for any season; roasted for a delicious base for a summer salad, a hearty soup or a tasty curry.

Every bin donated helps us provide healthy options for families doing it tough.

Partnerships like this show the power of community. By working together, we can make a real difference for people facing food insecurity by providing comfort and care. A huge thank you to Carnarvon Growers for their ongoing support and commitment to helping us feed and nourish those in need.
