The first Ashes Test may have ended in just two days, but Western Australians are benefiting in a big way. Following England’s rapid collapse, Perth’s Optus Stadium acted quickly to donate hundreds of kilos of leftover food to schools, charities, and women’s shelters across the region.
—thisWestern Australia’s Deputy Premier Rita Saffioti shared the news on Instagram, highlighting the stadium team’s swift efforts to prevent food waste. “From pallets of fresh fruit and vegetables to sandwiches, dairy, and bread — even 450 kg of tomatoes now being turned into passata — this is community spirit at its finest,” she wrote.
This donation marks the stadium’s largest-ever food contribution, turning an unexpectedly short cricket match into a win for the local community.
