Your food donation will support families

Foodbank Queensland does not accept food donations from members of the public, schools or fundraising teams.
To operate as efficiently as possible and support the most people in need, we source and rescue food on a very large scale from registered food retailers, farmers and manufacturers only. Collecting food on a large scale helps us to supply the most food to our network of more than 350 Community Partners in the most cost-effective way possible.
If you are an individual, school, or fundraising team looking to collect and donate food, we recommend finding a local charity or shelter that may be able to accept your food relief donation directly. To find a local food relief charity to support near you, visit the Find Food page on our website.
Businesses & Producers
Stock to Donate
We accept donations of all kinds of food and groceries from farmers, manufacturers and retailers throughout Australia. We also partner with food companies who donate ingredients and services so we can produce essential items like breakfast cereals, pasta, sauce and tinned fruit and vegetables.
