For many, these rising costs mean difficult decisions: skip essential trips, cut other household expenses, or go without support services they rely on.

We know that for our clients who are already facing financial strain, travelling to one of our six main Foodbank branches can become an added burden.  

That’s exactly why our Mobile Foodbank program exists.

If getting to one of our main branches has become challenging due to the cost of fuel, our Mobile Foodbank offers a practical, budget‑friendly alternative. With mobile locations operating across the state, we’re bringing healthy, filling and nutritious food directly into more communities – reducing the distance, time and cost involved in accessing help.

These mobile sites carry a wide selection of pantry staples, fresh food and essential items, helping families stretch their budgets further without sacrificing nutrition.

Importantly too, our Mobile Foodbank set-up and product availability are being updated across the board. We are ensuring more products are available and that we make it as easy as possible for our clients. We recently received some amazing feedback from a client in Balga who said, “I am so incredibly grateful for this new setup, it’s so much more accessible and really makes us feel human.”

During a time when fuel prices remain unpredictable and many regional areas have even experienced local shortages, having flexible options for food relief that is accessible matters more than ever. Our Mobile Foodbank network ensures that whether clients are in the metro area or a regional community, they are not left behind and that their experience is one of ease, dignity from a community that cares.

If you know that a client coming to you is under greater pressure due to fuel prices and the skyrocketing cost of living and is finding it difficult to reach one of our branches, encourage them to explore a Mobile Foodbank location near them.

We’re committed to easing the pressure, one trip – or one less trip – at a time.
