FIGHTING HUNGER

Foodbank is Western Australia’s largest food relief organisation providing over 6.1 million meals a year to people in need.

We work with the food and grocery industry to source surplus and donated product. We also collaborate with industry and government on innovative programs to produce key pantry staples. This enables us to supply over 900 charity partners and schools with the provisions they need to fight hunger in the community.

We also provide a range of healthy eating and education programs to build the capacity of children and adults to better take care of their health and wellbeing.

We fight hunger in Western Australia by providing quality food to people in need and by delivering food education that promotes healthy eating.
