Sourcing food

Sourcing the equivalent of 9.2 million meals each year doesn’t just happen by itself. 

Foodbank WA works with an amazing network of community partners to source fresh food, groceries and personal items, so we can distribute them to those in need.

Who helps Foodbank source food?

From the farming communities who donate their produce, to the manufacturers and retailers who go above and beyond to support us, there are so many generous providers who help us fulfil our purpose of fighting food insecurity. Many are long-term supporters of Foodbank WA.

Whether it’s for eggs, dairy, meat, fruits, vegetables, or pantry essentials, there are so many suppliers in our community who astound us with their ongoing generosity.

Can you help get food to those who need it most?
