                    In 2017/18 we were able to increase the
                    volume of food donations by 8 per cent,
                    expand our warehouse racking space by
                    almost 25 per cent, make improvements
                    to our online ordering system for charities,
                    and transition to a new freight provider
                    for regional deliveries.

                    In June 2018, we installed 357 solar panels
                    on the roof of our main distribution
                    centre in Yarraville. The 100kW system
                    will generate around 40 per cent of the
                    site’s total power usage – allowing us to
                    redirect cost savings into food distribution.
                    This was made possible through a grant
                    from the Australian Department of the
                    Environment and Energy, which helped
                    to fund approximately half of the project.

                    IN 2018/19, WE HOPE TO
                    FIND INNOVATIVE WAYS
