We are thrilled to introduce Darren Molen, our new Food Sourcing Manager, to the Foodbank family. <\/h4> <\/div> <\/div>

Darren brings a wealth of experience and a passion for food sourcing that will undoubtedly enhance our efforts to support those in need. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/section>

Darren has dedicated 33 years to the food, beverage, and packaging industries, where he has held various roles in quality assurance, manufacturing, and procurement. His extensive background includes sourcing food for new product development and identifying alternative food sources, showcasing his versatility and expertise in the field. <\/p>

Interestingly, Darren’s journey in Perth began with a temporary position at Goodman Fielder. What started as a short-term role turned into an eight-year tenure, during which Darren fell in love with the food industry in Perth. His commitment to the industry has only grown stronger over the years, and he has continued to make significant contributions to the field. <\/p>

Darren is passionate about food sourcing and believes that the key to success lies in being agile and persistent. He often says that finding the right food source is like searching for a needle in a haystack, but with determination and creativity, it can be done. His innovative approach and unwavering dedication have earned him a reputation as a problem-solver and a leader in the industry. <\/p>

Beyond his professional achievements, Darren is excited to use his knowledge and experience to give back to the community. He is committed to helping those in need and sees his role at Foodbank as an opportunity to make a meaningful impact. Darren’s enthusiasm for his work and his dedication to our mission make him a valuable addition to our team. <\/p>
