New World’s Family2Family Foodbank Appeal is back and we’re encouraging everyone to come together to help support local foodbanks and City Missions in their community!
New World is also joining by donating $250, 000 to local foodbanks and City Missions!
From the 8th of April – 5th of May, we’re inviting customers to come in store and fill a bag of foodbank friendly products or donate a pre-filled $20 Family2Family bag. We will take these to City Missions or local foodbanks and together, we can help support families in need through winter.

What are foodbank-friendly products?
Our local foodbanks desperately need non-perishable products that are typical household essentials. These may be anything from canned goods and spreads, tea and coffee, rice and pasta to non-food products like soap, toothpaste, shampoo and sanitary products.
Look out for foodbank-friendly products highlighted in your local New World.
● Tins of soup, baked beans, spaghetti, fruit and vegetables, soup, kidney beans, mixed beans, chickpeas, tomatoes, pasta sauce.
● Things that make a hearty base of a meal like rice, pasta and noodles are good.
● Breakfast cereal is a great staple and things for the pantry like sugar, flour, tea bags and crackers.
● Hygiene basics are important like soap, toilet paper and tampons.
Thanks to these suppliers who have generously donated to the City Missions
