We are a not-for-profit, non-denominational, federated organisation operating in every state and territory in Australia. Foodbank Australia is the only Australian food relief organisation that is a certified member of The Global Foodbanking Network (GFN) which has members across six continents and more than 50 countries.
Food insecurity is a big problem, requiring a big coordinated response, and we rely on countless partners to do what we do.
Our national and state-based teams work with the entire food and grocery industry including farmers, wholesalers, manufacturers and retailers to source food and capture donations. We also collaborate with suppliers, manufacturers and transporters to produce key staple foods that don’t come in sufficient quantities via rescue channels.
To distribute the food, our state teams work with an army of volunteers to pick, pack and get the food to where it’s needed.
