Iluka Resources Christmas Hamper Donation
The holiday season is already upon us and while most of us are worried about what presents we will give/receive over Christmas some families are worried about where their next meal will come from.
This year SWP, in addition to our yearly contribution to the Salvation Army, has chosen to also contribute to our client’s, Iluka Resources Limited, annual donation to support Food Bank Bunbury and Busselton’s initiative. Food Bank provides food hampers and gifts for those in need during Christmas and we are proud to donate to this very important cause.
