In 2014, CHEP Australia providing Foodbank with more than $900,000 of in-kind support

CEO of Foodbank Australia, Jason Hincks, said “CHEP’s support underpins our operations – without it we wouldn’t be able to get food to where it’s needed most. This latest act of generosity by CHEP and its customers is just another example of how they are always looking to go that extra step to help us in our goal of fighting hunger in Australia.”

President of CHEP Asia-Pacific, Phillip Austin, said “Today’s donation is an extension of the support we, and our customers, give to Foodbank throughout the year. We appreciated our customers taking time to participate in the research to help us better meet their needs, and being able to make a donation on their behalf is our way of saying thank you.”
