Max Gawn calling on Aussies to help provide three million meals to families facing winter hunger<\/strong> <\/h1> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/section>

With winter hitting hard and food costs soaring, AFL superstar Max Gawn is challenging Australians to help deliver three million* breakfasts to families doing it tough through Red Tractor, ALDI Australia and Foodbank\u2019s \u2018Buy One, Give One\u2019 campaign.\n<\/b> <\/p>

From Wednesday, 2 July, every 1.6kg bag of Red Tractor oats purchased at ALDI stores across the country will see 1.6kg of oats donated to Foodbank when the product will be available as a Special Buy, with each donated pack of oats providing up to 40 meals for families in need. <\/p>

Supporting the campaign is AFL superstar and Melbourne FC Captain Max Gawn, who kicked off the initiative at Foodbank\u2019s distribution centre in Yarraville, Victoria. <\/p>

\u201cAs an athlete, I know how important a good brekkie is to set you up for the day. But millions of Aussies are going without that basic start. When you grab your Red Tractor oats during this campaign, you\u2019re not just feeding your family, you\u2019re feeding another family too. It\u2019s such a simple way to make a huge impact for Aussies doing it tough this winter,\u201d<\/i> said Gawn.\n <\/p>

*3 million breakfasts are calculated using the 40g serving size of the 1.6kg product<\/span> <\/p>

Red Tractor and ALDI\u2019s partnership with Foodbank comes at a pivotal time for Australians in need. <\/h4>

Foodbank\u2019s Hunger Report 2024 highlights that low-income households are at a breaking point. One in five median income households (earning >$95K per year) are food insecure and more than half (59%) of all food insecure households in Australia are experiencing it at the severe level, regularly skipping meals or going entire days without food.\n <\/p>

Red Tractor CEO Andrew Loader said, \u201cEvery day we see Australians choosing between heating and eating. This winter, we\u2019re not just asking people to buy oats, we\u2019re asking them to be part of the solution.”<\/i> <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>

\"\" <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/section>
\"\"
\u201cAs a proud Australian brand, we see this as our responsibility. Every bag purchased doesn\u2019t just support Australian farmers, it directly feeds families who otherwise might go without.\u201d <\/h6>

Red Tractor\u2019s \u2018Buy One, Give One\u2019 campaign and partnership with ALDI is in its second year, with last year\u2019s campaign saw three million meals donated through Foodbank\u2019s community programs. This year\u2019s campaign aims to deliver even greater impact across the campaign period.\n <\/p>

Foodbank Australia CEO, Brianna Casey AM, said, \u201cWe believe everyone deserves to have access to good food and there is nothing more satisfying on a cold winter\u2019s morning than a warm bowl of oats to start the day. We are incredibly thankful to Red Tractor and ALDI for the generous support they provide Foodbank with this much-needed donation of delicious, nutritious Australian grown oats.\u201d\n<\/i> <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>

ALDI Australia Buying Director of Breakfast products, Daniel Quinlan, said the company looks forward to continuing this partnership with Red Tractor and Foodbank. <\/h6>

\u201cAt ALDI, we\u2019re proud to partner with Red Tractor and Foodbank on this meaningful initiative that supports Aussie families doing it tough this winter,\u201d said Mr Quinlan.\r<\/i> <\/p>

\u201cThe \u2018Buy One, Give One\u2019 campaign is a simple yet powerful way to make a Good Difference, and we\u2019re grateful to be part of a program that delivers real impact to local communities.\u201d<\/i> <\/p>
