Foodbank activated as primary food relief provider for SA floods

South Australia is once again experiencing a natural disaster with floodwaters continuing to rise in Regional SA. In response to this, Foodbank has been appointed by the South Australian Government as the primary provider of food relief for impacted Riverland communities.

Our number one priority is to ensure that we provide immediate food relief where it’s needed the most.

What we’ve done so far

We have commenced distribution of additional emergency food and water supplies to Riverland communities. This support will be made available to individuals and families impacted by the floods including via Emergency Relief Centres being established by Housing SA. Our Foodbank RAA Mobile Food Hub will continue to deliver food relief to Riverland communities, including Berri, Renmark, Waikerie, Loxton and Barmera to ensure no one goes without.

Importantly, we will ensure those in need have access to food relief during this time.

What you can do to help

Foodbank SA will be accepting donations of food and funds to support our food relief activities in the Riverland. Funds will cover the cost of food, water, and freight to those hardest hit in the coming weeks and months ahead.

100% of your donation will be used to get food and water to those who need it the most in the Riverland. For every $1 donated to Foodbank, we can purchase $6 worth of food thanks to our relationship with food retailers and manufacturers.
