Feeding change: our impact at Foodbank WA

You probably know that Foodbank WA supports the community in practical ways by improving access to good food. 

But you might not be aware of some of the broader ways that we’re feeding change. These are some of our initiatives and purposes designed to address the heart of the hunger problem in WA and Australia. 

Feeding people

Providing food to those struggling is our core reason for being, with the equivalent of 9.2 million meals going out last year across WA. We distribute food via over 350 frontline charity partners, our branches, our Mobile Foodbanks, and over 550 schools to support as many people as we possibly can with high-quality, low-cost food.

We’re here for people in the everyday, as well as for drought relief, bushfire recovery and floods.

Encouraging healthy eating for life

Nutrition education equips people with the skills to cook healthy, tasty food on a budget. We educate and raise awareness of healthy eating through our various programs, including nom! and Superhero Foods® HQ.

In FY2024, we delivered nutrition education to 6,577 attendees including children, adults, parents and people with disability.

Advocating for those doing it tough

Advocacy is also an essential part of what we do, and we give a voice to food insecure Western Australians. Hunger often happens behind closed doors, and our advocacy work and when you tell people about what we do, you are being an ambassador and part of our advocacy program.

Researching food insecurity

It’s really vital to understand the issue of food insecurity in WA and Australia. Who is skipping meals or struggling to afford groceries – and how can we best support them? Our regular research and Hunger Reports help us meet community needs and drive change in intentional ways. This important research also guides our advocacy work.

Providing support sustainably

We’re here for the long term and we’re here for the people in need. That’s why we aim to be efficient, effective, and sustainable in all that we do – from using eco-friendly containers in our Community Kitchen, to minimising waste and make sure every bit of food we receive is put to good use rather than contributing to landfill.

Our activities at Foodbank align with five of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with a focus on addressing poverty, hunger and inequality in a responsible way.

Sustainable development goals

Foodbank plays a vital role in helping Australia deliver on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — a global blueprint to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all.

Our work directly supports five of the 17 goals:

We support people experiencing hardship by providing essential food relief. We work with charities and schools across Australia to help build stronger, more resilient communities. By reducing the pressure of food insecurity, we help lessen the impact of poverty and give people the support they need to get back on their feet.

Foodbank is Australia’s largest hunger relief organisation. Our mission is for a hunger-free Australia. We work with the entire Australian food and grocery industry to source and distribute food to ensure everyone has access to good food. Achieving zero hunger is key to improving health, education and equality.

Food insecurity doesn’t discriminate and impacts many people in our communities. Our work helps bridge the gap by supporting those doing it tough, have access to good, culturally appropriate food.

Australian produces enough food for the population three times over. We rescue and divert from landfill, perfectly edible food and groceries from farms and growers to manufacturers and retailers. We are advocating the Federal Government to apply a National Food Donation Incentive.

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We work with growers, producers, charities, schools, governments and corporate partners to share resources and deliver real impact.

Get involved

Whether you donate to Foodbank WA with funds or food, give your time through volunteering, or simply spread the word, your involvement helps to feed hope and grow more resilient communities. 
No one can do everything–but everyone can do something!

Individual volunteering Team volunteering Corporate challenges

Become a  sporting partner

Foodbank WA actively welcomes partnerships with sports clubs and organisations to help fight food insecurity around Western Australia.

Your support could include fundraising or foodraising collections at a game, a dedicated charity match, or an ongoing partnership where community donations are matched by your corporate sponsors. 

Over half of food-insecure households in Australia are forced to skip meals or go entire days without food.

By joining forces, we can get much-needed meals to tables around WA.

Why team up with Foodbank WA?

Sport brings the community together. As a Foodbank sporting partner, you can evoke the power of that community to combat hunger in WA. From footy, to charity runs and cycling tours, any sport can get involved. Of course, we also welcome individual and team donations if you want to take on a sports challenge on our behalf!

We’re incredibly grateful that the West Coast Eagles have supported us for 13 years with the Million Meals Challenge. We’re also grateful for support from Perth Glory and Peel Thunder for their support through charity events in WA. From high-profile teams to local athletes, every contribution makes a difference.

Become a community partner

Foodbank WA works with a network of community partners across WA to deliver vital food relief and nutrition education. 

Our community partners include local resource centres, outreach services, youth groups, mental health services and many more. If you want to help more people access good food, we want to hear from you!

Why become a community partner?

Food insecurity is an urgent issue in the community, and the contributing factors can be complex. 

Community services and groups are often at the forefront of this issue, and as such can drive real change with the right support and resources. We could help your group by supplying ingredients, emergency food hampers, Foodbank referrals for customers, nutrition programs, or volunteering opportunities as needed.

Our community partners are essential to recognising and meeting need in the community. We’re open to all ideas to improve food access for vulnerable people, from distribution partnerships to tailored healthy eating classes.

How to get involved

Whether you’re a small grassroots organisation, an education provider, a charitable organisation or another type of community service in WA, we’d love to talk about how we can work together. Please contact our partnerships team today to start the conversation.

Research & Evaluation Reports

At Foodbank WA we want to educate people to make smart food choices that maximise food budgets and improve health and wellbeing. 

To achieve this, our university-qualified nutritionists and dietitians have developed nutrition education and cooking programs for young children, teenagers, adults, parents, and people living with a disability. 

Our programs teach important life skills such as how to read food labels, plan meals, and shop on a budget. The programs also teach cooking skills with participants making and eating recipes from our Foodbank WA recipe books. All our recipes meet the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating recommendations, can be made in under 30 minutes and are budget-friendly.

For more information about the positive impact our programs make on the lives of Western Australians please read our evaluation reports and the latest nutrition research. Older reports are available on request.
