This festive season, 3.7 million Queenslanders are struggling to put food on the table… which is why Wesley Mission Queensland runs its annual Red Bag Appeal, bringing festive cheer to families doing it tough. The appeal aims to distribute more than 3,000 red bags filled with essential groceries, toys and Christmas treats. It’s become an important annual event, with families in need relying on it every Christmas. We’re happy to  support this brilliant cause. Thank you Wesley Mission Queensland for making this Christmas brighter for Queenslanders!   Through our A&G Difference program, giving back to the communities in which we work and live is a crucial part of our culture and A&G way. #community #autogeneral

Some of our team literally got their hands dirty, participating in a Clean Up Australia Ltd Day at Woody Point beach and Crockatt Park in Redcliffe, close to our North Lakes office. They helped clean up these beautiful local spots, making them even more enjoyable for everyone. At A&G, we believe in giving back to our communities. Team members receive one paid day of leave every financial year to volunteer for a cause that supports the local communities in which we live and work. #autogeneral #community

Our team recently had an inspiring day volunteering with PCYC Queensland Deception Bay and TRACTION . Not only did the team get involved in fun activities like boxing and building a bike, they also had the chance to learn more about the incredible work these two organisations do to empower and support young people in the local community. A&G has been a proud partner of PCYC Deception Bay since 2018.

This week, our Board members visited the Act for Kids Moreton Centre in Queensland. It was an opportunity to meet with Act for Kids Board members and staff and hear about the inspiring story behind the Moreton Centre’s creation and the Safe Families program.

Last week, we had the privilege of attending the opening of OzHarvest's new Brisbane warehouse and celebration of 20 years of fighting food waste. It was a morning filled with inspiration, connecting with OzHarvest founder, Ronni Kahn AO, and witnessing the impact of their incredible work. We were also excited to see the van sponsored by one of A&G's brands, Budget Direct, used to deliver meals to those in need. At A&G, we’re all about giving back to the community and helping those who need it. We're proud to have partnered with OzHarvest since 2022, working together to save surplus food from landfill and deliver it to charities to help feed people in need. #autogeneral #community
