Parramatta. GPT Group helps Mission

Global property giant, GPT Group, has bought a long wheel-base refrigerated van to recover some of the tonnes of food collected by garbage trucks and dumped into landfill each week, to enable Parramatta Mission to give a 10 per cent boost to the 100,000 meals it serves each year to the needy in the Parramatta area alone. GPT staff hopes to expand the program to all food retailers in the centre. When GPT was seeking a partner organisation for the food recovery program it contacted Parramatta City Council which, in turn, referred the company to Parramatta Mission.
