Over $500,000 donated to date!
As a longtime supporter of Rural Aid, Vetta Pasta is proud to have donated $500,000 to support farming communities across Australia.
This support is essential in helping Aussie farmers facing tough times and in driving initiatives like Rural Aid’s Community Builders Program.
Farmers are the backbone of Australia’s food industry, providing fresh produce and wheat that feeds our nation. When they face challenges like droughts, floods, and fires, it’s vital we stand by them.
Earlier this year, Rural Aid hosted a Farm Recovery Event across six farms in Tenterfield, in the Northern Tablelands of NSW.
Thanks to an incredible team of volunteers, Rural Aid was able to assist farmers like Nancy and Gary, giving them the support they needed to recover and rebuild after the devastating impacts of drought and fires.
Vetta will donate 10c from every pack sold* to Rural Aid to fund much needed rural community initiatives.
*10c per pack sold of specially marked Vetta Rural Aid Pasta and Vetta SMART Protein Flour will be donated to Rural Aid.
"Personally, I am, and collectively we in Wagin, are getting so much out of the Community Builders Program. I see everything differently now – in my own town as well as in other rural towns."

Some examples of Community Builders’ outcomes include a small community buying a local pub, another upgrading town accommodation to attract visitors, and another community putting together a regional calendar of events.
Long Term Outcomes
