Western Australian farmers
feeding hope 

When like-minded people get together and want to make a difference, they can achieve big results. 

Thanks to CBH Group, a grain growers’ cooperative that handles, markets and processes grain from the wheatbelt of Western Australia, generous Western Australian farmers donated wheat and barley in November and December last year raising $30,852 for us, feeding hope for change for those most vulnerable. 

The CBH Growers program empowers farmers to donate some of their grain when they visit weigh stations across Western Australia or via LoadNet – CBH’s online portal. Donated grain is then sold with the proceeds being donated to Foodbank WA to provide food relief to those struggling to put food on the table. 

Kate O’Hara, Foodbank WA CEO said: “We are incredibly grateful to these farmers who have donated a portion of their grain to Foodbank WA and to CBH for their Growers Program.” 

There are 370,000 Western Australian households in food stress and those living in regional areas are often harder hit. We can only help those most in need with support of generous donors.” 

This wonderful initiate sees the grower choose how much they want to donate, with all grain types accepted. 

As the cost of living continues to drive demand for food relief, these donations are vital.
