Foodbank WA strives to ensure Western Australians can feed their families each and every day.
By playing Lotterywest games, you have helped provide more than $10 million in grants to Foodbank, including $330,048 to support the purchase of four new trucks, helping Foodbank go mobile!
“On a monthly basis across the state, Foodbank is providing over 500,000 meals to people in need, every month,” Foodbank CEO Greg Hebble said.
Another grant of $2 million has helped create a new administration and warehouse facility near Perth Airport. The larger facility will allow Foodbank to accommodate for future growth, and smaller not-for-profit organisations to use the space at a minimal cost.
Lotterywest player, Shaun, visited the Foodbank warehouse to see how he has contributed to the organisation.
“To see the work they do and to see the connection between Lotterywest and organisations like Foodbank, it’s a good feeling.”
In the financial year 2020-2021, $313.4 million was given back to the WA community, supporting great things across the state, just like Foodbank.
