Hold a food drive

Holding a food drive is a great way to get everyone together for a meaningful cause. By collecting non-perishable food and personal items for Foodbank Tasmania, we can direct them to households struggling. You can help raise much needed meals by organising your own food drive for Foodbank at your workplace, school or community group.

Some of our most in demand items include:

Canned fruit, vegetables, soups and meals

Breakfast cereal

Pasta, noodles and rice

Long life milk and juice

Coffee, tea and spreads

Muesli bars, dried fruit and nuts

Sauces, seasoning, cooking supplies like flour, oil and sugar

Shampoo and conditioner

Soap and deodorant

Dental floss, toothpaste and toothbrushes

Tissues and toilet paper

Feminine hygiene products

Household cleaning items

Donations must be unopened, in their original packaging with full ingredient and allergen listing, and within their best before date.

Fundraise for Foodbank

Every $1 donated = 2 meals created

We rely on the generosity of people like you to help provide meals to Tasmanians doing it tough. Whether you’re planning a personal challenge or a community event, every dollar raised makes a real difference.

How to fundraise

Here are some simple and impactful ways to get involved:

Take on a challenge — run, swim, walk or climb for a cause.
Host a virtual food drive — rally your workplace or community online.
Celebrate with purpose — ask for donations instead of gifts for your birthday, wedding or anniversary.
Organise a local event — morning teas, trivia nights, sausage sizzles and more.

Every donation helps Foodbank Tasmania deliver meals to people facing hunger. And remember, donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.

Volunteering as an Individual

Volunteering with Foodbank is an amazing opportunity contribute to and support your community, learn new skills and develop friendships with a welcoming team. We have a variety of roles available including:

Warehouse volunteers

The Foodbank Tasmania warehouse is the bustling heart of our organisation, where large donations of food and fresh produce are stored. Warehouse volunteers assist by packing orders, assisting welfare agencies with collecting orders, sorting groceries and packing fruit and vegetables

Drivers/Transport volunteers

Foodbank Drivers are out and about representing Foodbank Tasmania. They assist by collecting donated food and groceries from donor companies and delivering to our network of charities, community groups and schools.

Office volunteers

The Foodbank Tassie office is a welcoming environment where our friendly staff work away behind the scenes – allowing our services to tick along smoothly. Office Volunteers play a vital role in supporting staff to get their work done, and in turn get the food out to people who need it.
