Foodbank Queensland Community Impact

Every single day, Queenslanders are going hungry. For many, it only takes an emergency bill for necessities such as health care, home repayments or car, that results in going hungry. No matter who we are or where we come from, sometimes life gets tough. Now, the rising cost of living is making it harder for many Queenslanders living week to week and in vulnerable situations. Food stress and hunger negatively impact our physical and mental health. That’s why we believe every Queenslander deserves access to good quality food all year round.

Foodbank Queensland sources millions of kilograms of food from farmers, manufacturers and retailers, and distributes this food to hundreds of Food Relief Charities and School Breakfast Programs state-wide from our warehouse in Brisbane.

Foodbank Queensland’s Community Impact:

• Feeding 150,000 Queenslanders in need, plus 49,900 school children per week
• Supporting more than 350 Food Relief Charities, and over 400 School Breakfast Programs each year
• Sourcing 13 million kilograms of food, distributed as 26 million meals equivalent each year
• Reducing landfill CO2-e emissions by 24 million kilograms each year.
