Since 2014, together with OzHarvest, we have provided over 50 million meals to Australians in need. Providing significant societal benefits such as improved health outcomes, reduction in costs for charities and individuals, as well as the environmental benefits of diverted surplus food away from landfill.
For over 20 years Woolworths and Foodbank have worked side by side to help feed people experiencing food insecurity. Foodbank collects surplus food from our distribution centres and stores to help feed thousands who are doing it tough - from young families, to rural and remote communities and the elderly.
FareShare runs Australia’s two largest charity kitchens, rescuing surplus food and cooking it into free nutritious meals. Food rescued from Woolworths makes two-thirds of the total volume FareShare receives.
