For every $1 donated to Foodbank, we can provide 2 meals to Australians in need.
At some point each year, 3.6 million Australians and 1 in 5 children are in crisis, dealing with the anguish and despair of not knowing where their next meal is coming from for themselves and their families.
It’s hard to believe this is happening in the ‘lucky country’. It’s a predicament largely hidden by stigma and shame, but the reality is we’re all likely to know someone who is affected. It’s not just people on the street, it's people in our street.
Imagine the stress of not being able to provide food for your family. That’s the reality for 15% of Australians this year.
Foodbank restores hope to people who are struggling by rescuing and sourcing food and groceries from farmers, manufacturers and retailers and distributing them to frontline charities around the country to pass on to those in need.
Foodbank is the largest hunger relief organisation in Australia who, with the help of the food industry and the public, has the scale and capacity to address our country’s hunger crisis.
In spite of our best efforts, however, over 65,000 people are still being turned away from charities empty handed every month due to lack of food to give them. This is why, with your help, we strive every day to do more.
