Healthy food for all. Right across Victoria.
This year marked Foodbank Victoria’s 95th year providing food to Victorians who need us most. Back in 1930, the State Government established the State Relief Committee, providing for the many Victorians who were hit hard by the Great Depression. Since then, we’ve supported individuals and families through it all – from everyday emergencies, bushfires, pandemics, floods, and ongoing cost-of-living pressures, we’re here to help Victorians get the food and essentials they need.
By working with organisations across the food and grocery sector – from farmers right through to retailers – we’ve been able to distribute over 25 million meals in the last 12 months, and are currently feeding 69,000 Victorians every single day.
We believe that all Victorians should have regular access to healthy and culturally appropriate food. Our food purchasing program is rapidly expanding to help us feed the growing number of people who need our support.
All Victorians should have access to healthy food but in the last 12 months...
