Arc Infrastructure is proud to be a long-term supporter of Foodbank WA, playing a pivotal role in helping the charity provide food relief to communities in need.

Through Arc’s renewed three-year Principal Partnership with Foodbank WA, communities in the Wheatbelt have received ongoing specific and catered food relief by way of food hampers and funding towards nutrition education programs and cooking sessions.

From August 2024 to January 2025, Arc’s financial support to Foodbank WA in the Wheatbelt has delivered:

  • 11,680 meals

  • 730 hampers

  • 8 nom! nutrition education and cooking program sessions for 161 participants

  • 36 volunteer hours

“In these challenging times, Arc's support is at the heart of our efforts, enabling us to reach many in the Central Wheatbelt region. Together, we’re not just providing meals; we’re ensuring everyone has access to the healthy food they deserve,” said Kate O’Hara, CEO Foodbank WA.

“Arc’s partnership is vital, helping us continue our purpose to feed, educate, and advocate for those in need.

“Thank you Arc, because together, we’re making a lasting difference.”

Arc Infrastructure’s Acting Chief Executive Officer Nathan Speed said the business was extremely proud to work with Foodbank WA to support vulnerable members of the community.

“Arc is proud to partner with organisations such as Foodbank WA to deliver regional specific programs,” Mr Speed said.

“We are part of regional Western Australian communities, including the Wheatbelt, and we want out involvement to be long-lasting, meaningful and positive, so we do this by partnering and collaborating with organisations like Foodbank WA to deliver practical programs, which address the unique needs of particular communities.

“It’s been fantastic to see the food, groceries and essentials provided to those who struggle to afford them and the nutrition education being delivered to promote healthy eating in regional WA through our Principal Partnership,” Mr Speed said.

“Arc’s people have also been actively involved in championing Foodbank WA’s work by hosting Foodbank WA at our staff events, participating in the Meal Makers fundraising event, individual volunteering, corporate team volunteer days and donation drives of non-perishable food and toiletries.”
