 We’re lucky in how we get ours. Supermarkets (Coles, Woolworths, Costco or Aldi) generously donate to us. Our national partnership with Woolworths also ensures we are supported with regular donations and in-store promotions. Oversupply is one reason we see donations from supermarkets and occasionally even a delayed new store opening means we receive all of their close to code items. In addition, our regional branches have fostered their own relationships with local supermarkets who regularly donate oversupply. But there’s more than one reason we’re able to get our two and five.
 A Foodbank reflection on For Our EldersThis year the theme for NAIDOC Week is For Our Elders. Kalyisah, one of our nutritionists, says that two-way learning is an experience she has been lucky enough to experience out in communities. In each trip we teach nutrition and cook together, and we also learn a lot about the local community. All of our participants, young and old, tell us in conversation about their culture and traditional methods, the land, bush foods and flora, and ways to tailor our work appropriately.
 Healthy Eating Hub reaches 500 participant milestoneOur Healthy Eating Hub has just celebrated a big milestone, with the 500th participant passing through the doors to participate in nutrition education and cooking sessions. This is from the generous support of our long-standing partnership with Hawaiian making this achievement a reality.
Fruity Frypan CakeOur Fruity Frypan Cake is a fun and healthy recipe to make these school holidays. Just be sure there’s leftovers because everyone will be coming back for more.
