We conduct several surveys annually, including surveys of individuals experiencing food insecurity, charities providing food relief, and organisations donating food and groceries. We also maintain comprehensive statistics on our operations, including detailed data on the food and groceries we collect and distribute. We publish several reports throughout the year, all of which can be accessed here.
