Across the state, too many families are feeling the strain of rising living costs. We are assisting record numbers at our branches and Mobile Foodbanks as demand continues to grow. Every day, we see the difference your support makes. For many people, accessing our services isn’t just about food, it’s about dignity and hope.

This year’s Charity Game Day brings fans, players and the community together with one powerful goal: to ensure no Western Australian goes without. Every $1 donated creates two meals, making even the smallest contribution go a long way for someone in need.

We need volunteers to help make the day a success!

From greeting fans to supporting game day activities, your time will help us raise vital funds and awareness. If you’re available on 13 February and want to be part of something special, please register your interest today.

Whether you’re cheering from the stands, volunteering on the day or donating online, your generosity helps us provide food, hope and connection. Sign up to volunteer at fundraising@foodbankwa.org.au.

Together, we can feed change. 

And they’ve stepped it up even more. PremierFresh and ABC donated three bins of bananas every week to us here in Western Australia up until Christmas last year. Considering how hard it is to source bananas locally, we’re so grateful they make the epic journey from Far North Queensland. That’s a seriously long trip!

To make sure they’re ready for our customers quickly, PremierFresh treats the bananas when they arrive to speed up ripening. Fun fact: when bananas leave the farm, they’re dark green and rock solid.

A huge shout-out to Blenners Transport for getting them here. It’s probably the biggest banana run in Australia!

Right now, these bananas are shared between our Perth, Peel and Bunbury branches. We’re planning to trial deliveries to Geraldton, Albany and Kalgoorlie soon, but the distance makes it a challenge. Watch this space. 

Their visit came at a time when demand was particularly high. In the lead-up to the festive season, hundreds of families rely on us to help put food on the table. With the shop buzzing as customers completed their last-minute Christmas shopping, the Governor saw firsthand the impact of the work our teams deliver every day.

The Governor and Mrs Dawson also arrived with a generous donation made possible by visitors to Government House — 316kg of essential food and supplies, providing the equivalent of 569 meals for people experiencing food insecurity.

This contribution made a real difference during a crucial time of year. We extend our sincere thanks to the Governor for his continued advocacy and support, helping more families enjoy the festive season with dignity, care and hope. 

We were proud to be part of Mission Australia’s Christmas Lunch in the Park again. For many, the festive season can be tough. Rising living costs and food insecurity mean some families and individuals face Christmas without a meal or company. That’s why this event matters.

Our team joined hundreds of volunteers to create a welcoming space for around 1,600 people on Christmas Day. Everyone shared a meal and felt part of a community.

Kate and Arnya led the CocoLoco ball-making squad, joined by friends from Government House and their nearest and dearest. It was wonderful to have a presence at an event that’s about more than food it’s about dignity and care.

Christmas Lunch in the Park reflects what we stand for: feeding, educating and advocating for those in need. Every plate served is a reminder that no one should go hungry, especially at Christmas.

We’re grateful to work alongside incredible partners and volunteers who make this day possible.

A big thank you to Kate, Arnya and Nicola for pulling the event together, as well as the Warehouse team who assisted with the goodies bags, and to everyone who helped bring it to life. Together, we’re making a difference for Western Australians who need it most.
