Foodbank  supports programs that give students the opportunity to eat a wholesome, nutritious breakfast on a regular basis. Having breakfast has been shown to have a positive impact on factors such as physical and mental health, social skills, concentration, behaviour, attendance and academic outcomes.

School Breakfast Clubs program

Foodbank Victoria, in partnership with the Victorian Government launched the School Breakfast Clubs Program in 2016. The goal was to deliver nutritious breakfasts into 500 primary schools across the State.

Since then, the program has grown and expanded, supporting over 1000 Victorian Government primary, secondary, P-12 and specialist schools to deliver millions of meals to students.  

The program will continue to expand thanks to additional Victorian Government funding provided in 2024, rolling out to all Victorian government schools who opt in by the end of 2026.

The program includes:

  • Delivery of healthy breakfasts in Victorian Government primary, secondary, P-12 and specialist schools.
  • Provision of nutritious lunches, snacks and Home Food Packs targeted to students who would benefit most.
  • Delivery of cooking classes for families at over 100 disadvantaged schools.
