We are a not-for-profit, non-denominational, federated organisation operating in every state and territory in Australia.

Here at Foodbank Queensland, we believe that access to healthy food is a basic human right. Each week, we support 135,000 Queenslanders in crisis and provide breakfast to 52,000 children each school week. We work in collaboration with 320 Community Partners and 510 Schools.

Alongside food relief, we rescue surplus food that would otherwise go to waste, reducing landfill and protecting the environment. We’re also focused on long-term change, partnering with communities to build fairer, more resilient local food systems.
