1 in 6 Australian adults haven’t had enough to eat in the last year and, even more shockingly, 1.2 million children have gone hungry. The face of hunger is diverse - those affected are men and women, children and the elderly. They are single and in families, students, employed, unemployed and retired. At particular risk are people with disabilities, refugees and those of Aboriginal and Islander descent.
Foodbank Australia works with 2,950 frontline charities and 2,890 schools to bring food and groceries to Australians who are struggling. Foodbank currently feeds over 1 million people every month.
We work with the entire food and grocery industry to source key staple items so that Foodbank warehouses will always have them in stock. That way, we’ll be able to provide nutritious and convenient food such as cereal, tinned vegetables and milk for as long as people need it. We also support emergency services, providing essential supplies to people during natural disasters such as bushfires, floods and cyclones.
Through food rescue operations, Foodbank helps tackle Australia’s $36 billion food waste problem by reducing CO2 emissions arising from landfill.
Despite Foodbank’s scale, hunger is on the rise and charities report that they don’t have enough food and groceries to assist those in need. With your help, we strive to do more for everyday Australians who need a hand.
