Nutritious and versatile staple foods play a vital role in helping people thrive.

Yet, as the need for food relief continues to grow across Australia, so does the challenge of ensuring a reliable and sustainable supply of these essential foods.

That’s where Foodbank’s Egg Program comes in.

By partnering with egg producers in every state and territory, we work to source fresh eggs through generous donations or, in some cases, by purchasing them. These eggs are then distributed through our extensive charity network and school breakfast programs, reaching those who need them most.

Our ultimate goal is to establish a regular, sustainable supply of eggs in every state and territory, while making the process as straightforward as possible for everyone involved—from donating organizations to transport partners. Whether it’s a one-off donation of just one pallet or an ongoing commitment to supply eggs at regular intervals, every contribution makes a difference.

The benefits of donating

  • Supporting your industry: Donors can be confident that the eggs or donated inputs in a collaborative supply program all go to Foodbank to help those in need in our community.
  • Supporting local communities: The eggs are distributed to communities all over your state, including rural and remote communities, via our network of frontline charity partners and school breakfast programs.
  • Foodbank is a registered, not-for-profit charity organisation with DGR status, so all donations to Foodbank can receive a Tax Donation Receipt for the weight and description of the good donated.
