Arnott will increase meals donations to the needy

Arnott & # 39; s donates $ 350,000 worth of products to help Foodbank help Australians who are in trouble with COVID-19.

Panic buying in supermarkets has led to inventory levels at an all-time low. Foodbank Australia managing director Brianna Casey says that food aid demand increased 50% earlier this month, but supply decreased 27%.

“The side effects of the current coronavirus health crisis mean that more Australians than ever have difficulty making ends meet. We are extremely grateful for Arnott's long-term support over the past 10 years and know that this donation in particular will have a major impact on the lives of those who really need it. "

Arnott's donation to help those affected by the global pandemic is being distributed by the Foodbank across Victoria and NSW.

Arnott & # 39; s has also donated 752 grocery bags to the local government at the location of each Arnott bakery and headquarters to support the local communities in which they operate. These bags contain individually wrapped Tim Tam cookies and are distributed to frontline workers such as teachers, geriatric nurses, and healthcare workers.

"Arnott & # 39; s is incredibly proud to be able to support our communities and the everyday Aussies affected by the bushfires and coronavirus. This includes frontline workers, but also families and people who are at it Difficult path to economic recovery are difficult, ”said George Zoghbi, CEO of Arnott.

This latest donation follows the $ 100,000 product donation Arnott made to those affected by the recent bushfires.
