About the Organisation

Food insecurity is a growing problem, requiring a huge, coordinated response; Foodbank NSW & ACT are on hand to fight hunger.

1 in 6 Australian adults haven’t had enough to eat in the last year. On top of this, 1.2 million children have gone hungry during the same period.

Each month they provide 339,200 people across our state and territory with food and grocery assistance. They bridge the gap between the food and grocery industry’s surplus items and those going without food. Their employees and volunteers are determined to end hunger, and this is your opportunity to join them in this clear mission.

Join Foodbank NSW & ACT at this incredibly exciting time of growth; we need inspirational, passionate, and innovative Fundraisers who believe that no one in our community should go hungry.

This is a truly impactful organisation whose work is not just important, but critical to everyday Australians who are going without essentials, and this is your chance to join in the fight to change that.
