“Care, warmth, and love” are three words that come to mind when young bone marrow transplant recipient Frank Li (pictured left) describes the sponsorship of Arrow’s grocery card initiative by Independent Grocers of Australia (IGA).

And that is exactly what IGA is all about – taking care of locals. With a network of 1,400 independently owned stores across Australia, IGA actively participates in the community, doing whatever they can to help local charities, putting well over $60 million back into communities across the country.

With a generous donation of $20,000 in grocery cards to Arrow for distribution to bone marrow transplant patients, IGA’s support is greatly valued.

Bright Li, Frank’s father, says that receiving a grocery card from Arrow during the challenges the family faced during his son’s illness was very helpful. He used the card to buy daily food shopping items for the family such as vegetables.

“This support is very important; not only financially but more importantly, mentally,” said Bright.
