As the year draws to a close, we’re reflecting on one of the highlights of 2024 —our partnership with Eat Up Australia. This year, our teams helped complete over 8,000 sandwiches for children in need across the country, helping ensure they don’t go without.     But the work doesn’t stop there. In 2025, we are funding 10,000 apples to fill lunchboxes and provide kids with the nutritious meals they need to fuel their growth and learning.     Eat Up Australia is making a real difference in the lives of school kids who might otherwise go without, and we are honoured to play a part in their mission to fight hunger and help support Australian kids. Here's to continuing this important work together!    Learn more about Eat Up and our partnership here: https://lnkd.in/gFaj5bBB Lyndon Galea Amanda Howle Lane Simpson

Regional Food Group Case Studies: A Spotlight on Rising Roots Based in the Highlands, Rising Roots is a business committed to creating positive and lasting change with a personal touch, with owner Daniel delivering products directly to customers himself. As with many businesses, Rising Roots faced challenges during the pandemic, when restaurants temporarily closed. They adapted by pivoting towards home deliveries and retail distribution, ensuring that locally-grown produce could still reach households. Through their membership with Highland Good Food Partnership, Rising Roots collaborates with fellow producers to strengthen Scotland's local food network. This connection allows Rising Roots to bolster the resilience of Moray's food community. Learn more on our website👇 https://bit.ly/3OfgHWG
