Local love:
Sourcing fresh food in our backyard

In the space of only a few weeks, we have seen Ang pop up all over the state. From Geraldton where she was looking to make connections with some new growers, then down to Harvey for the Harvey Agricultural Society Show and so many places in-between.

Starting with Harvey – it was a wonderful opportunity to thank local donors, and to help promote our Mobile Foodbank service in the area. We were super lucky, the wonderful people at the Harvey Agricultural Show offered us a free-of-charge booth for the second year running. 

Ang, Jarrad and Michael continued to spread the love, travelling South to visit some of our Top 10 produce suppliers. It’s the first time they have all been on the road together to visit our suppliers to thank them in person and provide them with our new farm gate signage and certificates to show how much they donated over the last 12 months. Everyone was thrilled.

Thanks to Mineral Resources, Ang has a new Ute to ensure all visits out to the regions are safe and will make driving onto farms much easier in the future. Vinyl Wrapz in Osborne Park did the wrap for the Ute, making sure Ang will never go unnoticed on her long drives.

The Ute will enable Ang to do some of the produce collections herself too and be able to drop bins, pallets and crates off for donations to those farms we do not collect from – and it is also great advertising for us, you won’t be able to miss Ang out on the road.
