As part of its community support program to assist residents through the coronovirus pandemic Cadia has funded the packing of 200 hampers full of local food and produce.
The hampers were intended for residents who live around the mine.
However some of them kindly donated them to charities or suggested other people in greater need.
It's something really special to give you all that.

Mrs Benton, who lives in Orange, said her relatives Barry and Kay Miller from Forest Reefs, donated their hamper to her.
In turn she has shared it with a neighbour.
"It was great, there was lots of fruit and vegetables and hand sanitiser," she said.
"They gave me stuff I'd never have been able to buy.
"Strawberries and heaps of [things] I wouldn't have been able to afford.
"I think it's amazing. It was overwhelming. It's something really special to give you all that," she said.
Cadia acting general manager Aaron Brannigan said several charity groups had received hampers after residents donated them.
They included Blayney CWA, Orange Food Bank, Canowindra Foodbasket, Canowindra CWA, Cudal CWA, Molong CWA and Yeoval Health Care Centre.
"Everyone has been affected by the pandemic in different ways and the hampers have been a way to show our support to our local community, even if it as simple as stocking their cupboards with fresh produce and 'hard to access' products," he said.
Mr Brannigan said the Clontarf Foundation Canobolas Academy had come in to help pack and deliver the hampers.
He said the member for Orange Phil Donato had helped out while local businesses including Ashcroft's IGA, Bernardi's IGA Blayney, HIllside Harvest, Manildra Group, MSM Milling and Deliveredtome had supported the project.
Cadia has also been supporting staff in the Covid-19 team at Orange hospital with daily meals while it also ran a free coffee day for health workers.
