Protein power

It’s a weekly struggle for so many: How to create a weekly dinner plan for the family on an ever-shrinking budget. The essential protein found in meat and fish is often the first item to be cut from families shopping lists as prices rise, becoming less frequent in many households. It used to be enough to shop around to get the best deals from the major supermarkets, now we often hear that it’s simply feasible to add meat to meals because prices are rising too fast.  

We see people from all walks of life, single income, dual income, pensioners, those paying rent, others paying mortgages, some forced to sleep in their cars. They all have one thing in common, the cost-of-living crisis has forced them to cut their food budgets to cover bills, medications and for some, to stay in their homes. 

Thanks to our partnership with the Craig Mostyn Group, our customers have had access to excellent quality meat from their Linley Valley Pork range of products, and are able to create balanced, nutritious meals without having to cut back or ration the all -important protein in their diets. 

We are so excited that the Craig Mostyn Group has expanded their partnership with us to include red meat donations which is great news for our customers looking to try and include more red meat in their diet. 

The Craig Mostyn Group has been working with us since 2023 providing weekly donations of their Linley Valley Pork range and now, through their division in Bunbury V&V Walsh, will be providing weekly donations of Amelia Park lamb shanks, lamb chops, lamb roasts and beef burgers. 

We couldn’t be more pleased that the Craig Mostyn Group have added red meat to their regular donations to us. It’s not uncommon to hear from new customers that they have gone for months without eating meat due to the expense. We want to be able to offer our customers as much variety as possible, and with partnerships such as this, we can.” said Kate O’Hara, Foodbank WA CEO.

This will be a valuable addition to our product offering, providing more meal options for our customers while also allowing them to include affordable sources of valuable iron and nutrients into their diets. 

We know there are many in WA going without because of cost-of-living pressures. As an agrifood company, this is our way of being able to provide real, tangible help by donating protein options for families to bring into their weekly meals,” said Paula Dennis, Group Manager, Marketing of Craig Mostyn Group. “We proudly support Foodbank and the great work they do for people in the WA community who need it most”.
