Foodbank NSW & ACT

Foodbank is Australia’s largest food relief organisation, providing food relief to over 652,00 Australians each month through our charity partners and school programs. We achieve this by working with the Australian food and grocery industry which provides surplus and donated product. We also collaborate with farmers, manufacturers, suppliers and the government on programs to produce key staple foods such as breakfast cereals, milk, pasta, canned foods and sausages. Our mission is to deliver the most food to the most Australians in need in the most efficient way.
