In June, Acacia Hill Armadale and Stirling came together for a meaningful cause—supporting Oz Harvest through a food drive aimed at helping those in need. Our team, along with our families, collected a generous range of pantry staples, cereals, snacks, and essential items to donate. With community spirit at the heart of everything we do, this initiative was a powerful reminder of the impact we can have when we work together. Staff members delivered the donations directly to Oz Harvest, an organisation dedicated to rescuing surplus food and delivering it to charities across Australia. The smiling faces and full trolley symbolised more than just food—it represented care, connection, and a commitment to making a difference. We’re proud of our team’s efforts and the generosity of our wider community. At Acacia Hill, we believe in nurturing not only children but also the values of empathy and community responsibility in everything we do.
From Oz Harvest…
To our incredible Winter Food Drive donors
While the weather may still feel like winter, our Winter Food Drive has officially wrapped up for another year and once again, we’re incredibly grateful for the generous support of teams like yours – THANK YOU!
This year, 77% of our charity partners reported a rise in demand for food relief. Thanks to the unwavering generosity of our local community, we were able to pack and distribute 500 food hampers last month to individuals and families doing it tough. These hampers went to a wide range of organisations, including the Aboriginal Legal Service of WA, Bayswater Pantry, The Big Issue, Grandparents Rearing Grandchildren, Women’s Legal Service, and many other vital community groups. Despite these efforts, the demand for support continues to exceed the resources available and at Oz Harvest, we’re committed to expanding our reach to meet this growing need.
Together, we can bridge the gap between food waste and hunger and continue making a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Thank you once again for standing with us and your very generous Winter Food Drive donations.
Warm regards,
Jennifer and the Oz Harvest WA Team
