Whether it’s everyday emergencies or in times of crisis, Foodbank Victoria has been providing vital food relief to vulnerable Victorians for 95 years. We deliver food to people who need it in three different ways: in partnership with our charity partners, through schools and via our regional Community Food Centres. Across our network of 500 charity partners and 1,015 schools throughout Victoria, we have distributed over 25 million meals in the last 12 months and are currently feeding 69,000 Victorians a day. While supporting our charity and school partners is at the core of what we do, as the state’s dedicated emergency food relief organisation, we’re also here to assist Victorians through natural disasters, pandemics and the ‘invisible disaster’ caused by the ongoing cost of living crisis. We believe that all Victorians should have regular access to healthy and culturally appropriate food. That’s why we work with partners right across the food and grocery sector, from farmers and growers right through to retailers, to source, rescue and purchase essential food and grocery items to distribute to our communities. Our food purchasing program is rapidly expanding to help us feed the growing number of people who need our support - we are now spending $5 million on food every year. For every $1 we receive, we’re able to provide 2 meals for someone in need. Every dollar donated is two meals created. It’s that simple. If your organisation can support our work, please get in touch.
