HAMPER PROGRAM

Foodbank SA & NT provides Everyday Hampers, prepared by our volunteers for those in need and distributed by our welfare agency partners. The hampers comprise everyday staples and essential ingredients for meal preparation.

As well, each year we provide Christmas Hampers, prepared for us by our corporate volunteers in the Edwardstown warehouse, beginning mid-October. Corporate groups use this opportunity as a team building activity, whilst providing much needed support to Foodbank.  We were pleased to again see a waiting list of organisations wanting to participate in the Christmas Hamper packing program.

Last year, around 10,000 Christmas Hampers were packed and distributed to metro and country regions, via welfare agencies, to families who struggle to make ends meet at Christmas. For some families this may be the only present they get at Christmas.
