Giving Back to the Community

Australia Day is also a time for reflection and giving back. Woolworths is proud to collaborate with several charitable organizations in 2025 to make a difference:

Support for Indigenous Communities

Through its partnership with local Indigenous suppliers, Woolworths is promoting sustainable business practices and empowering First Nations entrepreneurs. Store promotions will highlight Indigenous brands, making it easy for shoppers to support these businesses.

The Fresh Food Rescue Program

Woolworths will extend its support to vulnerable Australians by increasing contributions to The Fresh Food Rescue Program. This initiative donates unsold but fresh and edible food to local charities, reducing food waste and feeding thousands of Australians in need.

Community Barbecues for a Cause
