OUR IMPACT

Last year, Foodbank sourced the equivalent of 92 million meals for our 2,929 charity partners and 3,220 school breakfast programs throughout the country.

Our work makes a positive difference in the lives of Australians, with recipients of food and grocery relief reporting they feel less hungry, are able to focus and concentrate, are less stressed and more hopeful.

Foodbank not only plays a lead role in fighting hunger, but also a vitally important role in tackling Australia’s $36.6 billion food waste problem and helping the environment.

For every kilogram of food distributed by Foodbank, the social return on investment has been valued at $23. This means the impact of Foodbank’s work in the community is worth almost $1 billion annually.

Despite our very best efforts, the food we supply is still not enough. That’s why we rely on the food and grocery sector as well as individuals, corporations, community groups and all levels of government to join us in the fight against hunger. Find out how you can support us.
