Chobani Australia has cooperated with Foodbank and Woolworths to send off its new 907g tubs of mixed Strawberry and Energy Organic yoghurt products and assist in donating the equivalent of six meals to Australians in need.

Chobani carried out its most recent gathering pledges SKU to help Foodbank’s Products of the Vegetable Projects, which plan to convey gifts from the cultivation business to Australians deprived while offering a manageable answer for excess and out-of-spec products.

Over 3.7 million Aussie families experienced food deficiency in 2023. Almost 50% of this figure revealed scaling back their buying of new produce and protein to adapt, as per the Foodbank Appetite Report 2023.

Reserves raised from the mission will go towards buying and distributing leafy foods the nation over. A few states might utilise the funds to buy food, while others might zero in more on transport and planned operations.

“The face of hunger is changing. It’s not just those who live on the street, but those on your street who are experiencing hunger. We know that food is the pressure valve of the household budget and quite often items such as fresh fruit and vegetables are the first thing to be left behind at the supermarket when times are tough,” said the CEO of Foodbank Australia, Briana Casey.

Chobani GM ESG and General Counsel Tim Browne said the company’s partnership with Foodbank is something beyond a collaboration.

“Campaigns like this are so important as they help ensure we have an adequate supply of delicious Australian-grown produce available for those who need a helping hand,” Casey said.

“As a food and drinks manufacturer, we have a responsibility to ensure everyone has access to nutritious food. However, we recognise that understanding the specific needs of communities experiencing food insecurity is complex and requires expertise – that’s where Foodbank comes in.

We are always looking for new and innovative ways to support Foodbank and make a real impact. Through our close working relationship, Foodbank has highlighted the dire shortage of fresh produce, and we’ve tailored this initiative to directly address this need,” Browne said.
