Information on George Weston Foods

GWF encourages each of it's business groups to actively support the community through the sponsorship and support of community groups, welfare organisations, sporting development programs and elite athletes.

Through our individual and community sponsorships, we support activities ranging from sport, community aid and welfare. Each of our Divisions participate in community projects and facilities such as the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, the New Children's Hospital at Westmead, The Spastic Centre and many other community organisations.

As part of our sponsorship of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, we funded programs to assist some of Australia's most promising athletes train at the Australian Institute of Sport and realise their dream of participating in the event a lifetime.

We also support the community through contribution of our products and services. An example is our substantial donation of Don Smallgoods products to Mission Australia to provide assistance to those in need and our product donations to the Children First Foundation.
