Mondelēz International has partnered with food rescue organisation SecondBite, starting with a donation of more than 50,000 servings of Cadbury Dairy Milk Easter Eggs and Bunnies ahead of Good Friday.
The partnership agreement will see Mondelēz International divert surplus snack products from its seven Australian manufacturing facilities to SecondBite centres across the country.
The partnership is even more critical on the eve of Easter, as Australian families continue to navigate cost of living pressures and withstand food insecurity.
SecondBite acting CEO Lucy Coward said the partnership would make a huge difference to the lives of thousands of Australians.
“Our partnership with Mondelēz will not only provide us with much-needed funds to continue our work rescuing and redistributing quality food, but this bulk donation of chocolate ahead of Easter will put a much-needed smile on so many faces. It will be a lovely treat to add to our usual supply of fresh food and pantry staples,” said Coward.
Mondelēz has supplied more than 50,000 servings of Cadbury Dairy Milk Easter eggs and bunnies, distributed by SecondBite, to food relief agencies across Victoria.
Stephanie Saliba, corporate and government affairs director for Mondelēz International, said: “We’re incredibly proud to partner with our friends at SecondBite. Further to supporting their efforts to eliminate food waste and feed hungry families, we’re delighted to play our part surprising and delighting families, with our range of iconic and much-loved snacks.”
