Thank you to our national partner Syngenta Australia for supporting such an important cause. #parks #recreation #community
Communities, colleagues and customers have experienced unprecedented hardship over many years, and we have seen first-hand the impact bushfires and now COVID-19 have had on communities across the country. We are proud to support Foodbank Australia's efforts to provide food security to Australians who need it most. We hope our $100,000 donation to Foodbank Australia goes some way to supporting communities who have been doing it tough. Foodbank’s regional food sourcing program also helps to support local communities in crisis by partnering with food manufacturers based in rural and regional Australia. Through Foodbank’s partnerships, communities that rely on their local food and grocery manufacturers for employment are protected and local economies are stimulated. Together with Foodbank we aim to do what we can to make a positive difference and help Australians during these difficult times.
