Foodbank Kalgoorlie has formed a new partnership with KCGM, Saracen Mineral Holdings and Northern Star Resources, to support the local community in response to COVID-19.
KCGM, Northern Star and Saracen workers will also participate in volunteering opportunities at Foodbank Kalgoorlie once COVID-19 restrictions have lifted, providing hunger relief to those who are most vulnerable in the Goldfields region.
Gold miners have joined with the resources sector in Western Australia to donate more than $9 million to the Royal Flying Doctors Service, Foodbank and Lifeline.
The COVID-19 Community Support Initiative set up by the CMEWA, has so far received much needed funds from Gold Industry Group members AngloGold Ashanti Australia, Gold Fields, Gold Road Resources, Newcrest Mining, Newmont Australia, Northern Star Resources, Ramelius Resources, Regis Resources and Saracen Mineral Holdings.
