Community support and sponsorships

Sunshine Sugar has a long and proud heritage in northern New South Wales. As an industry we are a significant contributor to the economy of the area and provide the community with employment opportunities, growth and prosperity.

We highly value our relationships with our staff, growers, suppliers, partners, customers and local communities – with many of these relationships spanning multiple decades and generations.
We are a proud supporter of local, regional and national events, groups and charities including;

Driver Reviver

Sunshine Sugar has been a proud support of the Driver Reviver campaign for many years. In that time, we have donated millions sugar sachets to volunteer-manned rest stops across Australia.

The Driver Reviver program operates throughout Australia during school/university holidays and over long weekends to reduce fatigue-related crashes on our roads.

Foodbank

Foodbank is the pantry to the charity sector in Australia. Some 5 million Australians have experienced food insecurity in the last 12 months and the number of people seeking food relief from charities is increasing.

Sunshine Sugar is proud to support Foodbank in their massive and highly co-ordinated effort providing food for 815,000 Australians via a network of 2,400 charities in every Australian state and territory each month. Our donation to Simplot’s annual Food Collaboration campaign helps produce more than 242,000 jars of Leggo’s pasta sauce each year for Foodbank.

Country Women’s Association (CWA) of New South Wales

The CWA is the largest women’s organisation in Australia and aims to improve conditions for country women and children. We reach that aim in various ways including lobbying for change, helping the local community, creating a network of support and meeting together in towns and cities. Sunshine Sugar supports the CWA of NSW each year by donating sugar sachets for their famous Sydney Royal Easter Show Devonshire Teas.
