Supply chain operator, Primary Connect, delivers significant support to Foodbank Australia through its national transport network.
In 2025, Primary Connect team members assisted in sourcing more than 1.16 million kilograms of food, equating to over two million meals for Australians facing hardship. The effort highlights the growing importance of logistics in ensuring food relief reaches communities efficiently and at scale.
While food donations remain essential, the ability to move large volumes across vast distances is equally critical. Primary Connect has spent more than two decades leveraging its transport capabilities to support Foodbank, positioning itself as one of the organisation’s largest pro bono freight providers.
Using its national distribution network, the business ensures fresh and essential items are delivered to metropolitan, regional and remote areas alike – an ongoing challenge in a country as geographically dispersed as Australia.
The partnership also aligns with Woolworths Group’s newly launched 2030 Sustainability Plan, which includes a commitment to increase the number of meals donated to people in need by 50 per cent by the end of the decade. Transport efficiency and network scale are expected to play a central role in achieving this target.
Primary Connect’s contribution forms part of a broader national effort, with Foodbank aiming to source 92 million meals this year to support Australians experiencing food insecurity.
The initiative underscores how freight operators are increasingly extending their role beyond commercial supply chains, applying their expertise to deliver meaningful social outcomes.
As demand for food relief continues to rise, the integration of logistics capability with charitable supply chains is set to remain a key driver in getting essential goods to those who need them most.
