GIFT IN YOUR WILL
Leave a legacy that fills plates and hearts
At Foodbank SA & NT, we know the fight against hunger doesn’t end overnight. Every day, more families are turning to us for help, and as demand continues to grow, we need to plan for the future while responding to the needs of today.
One way you can make a lasting difference is by leaving a gift in your Will.
It doesn’t need to be large. Even 1% of your estate, after your loved ones are cared for, can help ensure Foodbank is here for people doing it tough. Your gift can help keep our warehouses stocked, our trucks moving and food reaching communities when disaster strikes—whether it’s fires, floods or the ongoing cost of living crisis.
A gift in your Will is a powerful act of hope. It says you believe in a future where no child goes hungry, where families in crisis have somewhere to turn, and where no one is left behind.

Why Jenny is leaving a gift in her Will to Foobank
Jenny has dedicated her life to helping others, as a nurse, community worker and advocate for those doing it tough. Through her work, she’s seen how something as simple as a meal can restore dignity and hope for people facing homelessness, mental illness and hardship.
That’s why Jenny has chosen to leave a gift in her Will to Foodbank SA & NT.
“I have seen too many people fall through the cracks,” she says. “Foodbank reaches them. They are practical, reliable and they get food to the people who need it most. I want that to continue long after I am gone.”
A keen gardener, Jenny sees her bequest as planting something lasting, seeds of support and care that will grow long after she’s gone. Her gift will help ensure families in crisis have somewhere to turn, and her kindness will continue nourishing lives for years to come.
