Foodbank Agency Pantry Project
The Foodbank Agency Pantry has been a project we have been working on behind the scenes for some time now. The initiative is a response to the cost-of-living crisis which is placing immense pressure on communities – we acknowledge the increasing demand for essential food items, and want to make access to bulk essential food items easier and to provide a more robust offering.
To help support this additional need across community, we are looking to see how we can better support agencies by building capacity across the food relief network in Western Australia. This has including reviewing our operations and services.
The Foodbank Agency Pantry will give you, our partners, access to a range of in-demand pantry products at a reduced cost, helping you to get more from sometimes very limited budgets, to help support your own food relief services.
Currently the Foodbank Agency Pantry program has 29 products which include staples such as peanut butter, plain and self-raising flour, oats, tuna in spring water, a variety of canned vegetables SPC Spaghetti and baked beans, penne pasta and long-life milk, just to name a few.
These products are now available to purchase in bulk with reduced pricing, usually 10-20% under the recommended retail price, and where possible, many are below our in-branch pricing.
Orders can be placed weekly using an order form available by contacting Candice.
Pricing is excluding delivery, but we have several different options, including a click and collect model, which we can discuss with you.
Earlier this year we sent out an expression of interest where we looked to understand which of the 29 products in our core range you found were essential and also listed a range of non-core products, which has previously been requested by some agencies.
In 2026, we hope to extend the Foodbank Agency Pantry range, with consideration of your feedback, and hope to increase the range of 29 core products to many more, which will be available via the Foodbank Agency Pantry ordering process.
We want to thank those of you who responded, your feedback will help us to understand your interest and support.
We are currently reviewing your responses and hope to report back to you with our findings and recommendations in our next newsletter.
In the meantime, if you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact Candice.long@foodbankwa.org.au.
