Australian health food and drinks producer Emma & Tom’s new Look After Others water packaging is sporting the Foodbank logo. The brand owner has partnered with Foodbank Victoria and will be donating a portion of its sales to support the fight against hunger.

Foodbank Victoria CEO Dave McNamara said the partnership allows Foodbank Victoria to close the gap and provide more Victorians access to healthy food.

The new Emma & Tom’s Look After Others water bottle design features the Foodbank logo.

“Our research shows the demand for food relief is increasing. We’re already helping about 140,000 Victorians every month who can’t put food on the table, but there are another 8,000 potentially missing out because we need more resources to reach them,” said McNamara.

“We’re thrilled to have Emma & Tom’s on board to help support our food relief efforts and see this as a great alignment of the values underpinning both our organisation.

Emma & Tom’s was established in 2004 and has since made it a priority to donate products to local and national food charities regularly.

Emma & Tom’s co-founder Emma Welsh said the team was excited to launch a product dedicated to supporting the important work by Foodbank Victoria.

“We have always believed that part of being in business is to give back to our community,” said Welsh

“With stockists Australia wide, we are inspiring our dedicated customers to help raise awareness and join the fight against hunger on a national scale.”

Emma & Tom’s Look After Others water is packed in 100 per cent recycled PET bottles, and has no BPA. It will be available online, at selected supermarkets and café stockists.
