Mission Statement
Founded in 1930, Foodbank Victoria is the state's oldest and largest food relief organisation. We are an independent not-for-profit organisation whose purpose is to provide healthy food to Victorian families and individuals experiencing hardship. Our mission is to sustainably source and distribute healthy food so that all Victorians can be food secure. We distribute food and household items to those in need in metropolitan Melbourne and across the state in regional Victoria. Foodbank Victoria is also a member of the Victorian State Government’s Emergency Relief and Recovery Team, providing food relief to Victorian communities in times of crisis.
About This Cause
Foodbank Victoria provides food relief to disadvantaged communities across the state. Working with a large network across the grocery sector including farmers, manufacturers and retailers, Foodbank Victoria distributes fresh fruit and vegetables, chilled and frozen food, pantry staples, personal hygiene, and household items to around 500 charity partners who then on-deliver the goods to Victorians experiencing hardship. Through this Emergency Relief Program, Foodbank Victoria distributes 69,000 meals each day to people in need. In addition to working with charity partners to distribute food items, Foodbank Victoria has many other initiatives to ease the burden felt by those in need. We operate Farms to Families popup markets providing free fresh produce to disadvantaged communities across regional Victoria, supplying enough free fruit and vegetables to last families a week. The School Breakfast Club Program provides breakfast, lunch, and everyday hampers to primary and secondary students via 1,100+ schools.
