Olivia is a single mother doing her best to provide for her two children. But despite working hard, rising rent, fuel, and grocery prices have left her struggling.

Most nights, she serves her kids dinner while she quietly goes without. Some nights, even that’s not possible. “I try to make the food stretch, but some days there’s just nothing left.” – Olivia

Olivia’s story is not unique. Nearly 300,000 families across South Australia and the Northern Territory are experiencing food insecurity.

👉 69% of single-parent families can’t afford enough food.
👉 41% of these families skip meals entirely.
👉 37% of rural and regional households are food insecure.

For many families, meat is an unaffordable luxury. Yet, it’s a crucial source of protein especially for growing children.

This is why the Foodbank Meat Project is so important. Thanks to the generosity of local farmers and service clubs, we turn donated livestock into high-quality, protein-rich meals for struggling families.

Your donation can make a real difference

💜 $500 helps transport and refrigerate enough meat to provide 500 meals.
💜 $1,000 covers processing costs for an entire truckload of donated livestock.
💜 $2,000+ expands the reach of the program, getting meat to even more rural communities.

Please donate today. Your support will ensure that families like Olivia’s don’t have to go hungry.
