IGA supermarkets have delivered 48 tonnes of much-needed food, grocery and household supplies for victims of the devastating tsunamis in Samoa and Tonga. 

The 50 pallets of food are leaving Garden Island in Sydney today (October 27) on the HMAS Tobruk.

The food, including rice and tinned seafood, were selected in consultation with Caritas Australia’s local partners in Samoa, who are participating in the relief effort and will distribute the food to needy families.

Mick Daly, National IGA Retailer Chairman said, “IGA plays an active role in local communities and our retailers and distribution partner have acted immediately, using the group’s successful national Community Chest program to help provide emergency relief to assist those affected by the tsunami”.
