Food Drives Message: 

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 300 Member Charities 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.

How you can help Foodbank:

Donate funds:

One of the most impactful ways to support Foodbank is by joining our Farm to Families program. Every year, millions of kilograms of food is wasted due to oversupply, labour shortages, and transport challenges. You can help get this food to Queenslanders in need and support our farmers.

From sporting events and birthday fundraisers, through to digital Facebook fundraisers, there are lots of ways to raise funds for Foodbank. Becoming a Foodbank Hunger Fighter is quick and easy.
