Where to get food assistance in WA

Do you need food or help to afford groceries? From the moment you arrive, our team will be here to make things easy and ensure you feel genuinely welcome and supported.

Respect and compassion guide everything we do, and we’re here to make your experience at Foodbank a positive and enjoyable one.

You’ll need a referral to get started. It’s a simple process, and there are two ways you can begin. 

Get a referral with a free call

To get a referral, you can free-call The Emergency Relief and Food Access Service on 1800 979 777. It’s open 9.30am – 5.00pm Monday to Friday (closed on public holidays).

The call takes about 20 minutes and will involve a few basic questions.

When you come to collect your referral at Foodbank WA, you’ll need to bring some form of ID to confirm your address and details.

Get a referral through a charity partner 

To get a referral, you can also find a charity in your area using

  • our Find Food tool or 
  • the WA Connect – on the website, click on “I am looking for assistance”. Select “Food” in and enter your suburb. Click search for a list of charities in your area that might be able to help you.


Tough times can happen to good people  

Seeking support might feel daunting at first but remember that lots of people and families access emergency food relief in Perth and WA when times get tough. Using these services can help you stay healthy and strong when life gets challenging, so reaching out is a sensible step. 

How to visit Foodbank WA 

You can visit us at one of our branches at Perth Airport, Peel, Bunbury, Albany, Kalgoorlie or Geraldton, listed at the bottom of this page. Our Mobile Foodbank also visits many suburbs in Perth and regional locations to provide community food support.

In Perth, public transport access is available from Bus Route 294 via High Wycombe Station. We are closed on weekends and public holidays. 

If it’s your first-time visiting Foodbank WA, then this shopping guide will help you know what to expect.  


What to bring 

For your first visit please bring your referral letter and current photo ID. We accept referrals printed, emailed or on your phone. Please also let us know if you have a voucher.   

We’ll give you a card you can show at our branches or Mobile Foodbank. This card is for you only, so please don’t lend it to anyone. You’ll need to show your Foodbank WA card every time you shop.   

Handy tip: Remember to bring some shopping bags or boxes for putting your groceries into your car. 


What’s it like to shop at Foodbank? 

Our shop is like a low-cost supermarket. The food and groceries are in aisles and there’s a large selection to choose from. You might not see the same variety as a supermarket, but we always have the staples like pasta, rice, meat, and fruit and vegetables.  

When you’ve finished shopping, go to the checkout and a volunteer will sort your groceries to weigh them. You can pay by EFTPOS. Please note we do not accept cash.

Corporate Volunteering Brochure

Volunteering FAQs

The day typically starts at 8.30am with an overview of the position and a safety briefing and concludes at approximately 3.00 pm.

All volunteers must wear steel caps boots and shirts with sleeves. Corporate volunteers can wear sturdy enclosed shoes if they do not have steel cap boots. We recommend long jeans for safety and comfort.

We provide all volunteers with high-visibility vests or aprons if working in the Community Kitchen.

In winter the warehouse gets cold, so it is a good idea to bring a jacket or light pullover.

You can bring your own lunch or there is a lunch bar approximately 400 metres from the Perth branch on Grogan Road. We have a volunteer kitchen with tea and coffee facilities.

Engage customers with cause-related marketing

Cause-related marketing is an easy and powerful way to support Foodbank and help reduce hunger in WA. 

It works by engaging your existing and potential customers to promote our cause. This could look like a donation-matching campaign, a social media campaign, or something completely different.

Why develop a cause-related campaign with Foodbank?

Partnering your brand with Foodbank offers so many benefits. It can set you apart from similar brands in a crowded market, it can fuel sales, it shows commitment to social responsibility and importantly, it has real impact – helping Foodbank to deliver more food to more people in need.

Did you know 64% of shoppers make purchasing decisions based on shared values with a brand?

Embodying your brand values can be great for business while directly supporting food relief in WA.

With food waste increasingly in the spotlight and the issue of food insecurity gaining national momentum, there’s never been a better time to partner with Foodbank and show commitment to ending hunger in WA and beyond.

Privacy Policy

Protecting your
privacy is of paramount importance to us. 

We value the privacy of all our stakeholders as well as the communities we serve.

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy helps our supporters, donors, volunteers and other stakeholders understand why and how we collect, hold and use personal information, and what to do if you have questions, concerns or complaints. 

We are guided by The Australian Privacy Principles, as well as the codes we adhere to.


What information do we collect?

It’s your choice how much information you wish to share with us, however depending on the circumstances we commonly collect:

  • Personal details, like name or date of birth
  • Contact details, including email, phone number and address
  • Payment information for donations
  • Online interactions you have with us through our website
  • Your support for our work, like signing a petition, hosting an event or participating in one
  • Other areas of our work you might be interested in supporting
  • Your communication preferences

Online and Social Media

We use Google Analytics to track visits to our website and use this information to track the effectiveness of our website, like visits, length of visit, viewed pages. 

While this data is mostly anonymous, sometimes we will connect it to you, for instance in personalising a webpage, or prefilling a form with your details. For more information on our analytics tools, read Google’s Privacy Policy at google.com/policies/privacy/


When do we collect your information?

We collect your information when you or your guardian give it to us. This could be through:

  • Making a donation

  • Completing an online form or online survey
  • Contacting us by email or social media
  • Calling us
  • Applying to work or volunteer with us
  • Signing up to receive our newsletter

What do we know about you now?

If at any time you want to know what personal information we hold about you please get in touch. If you wish to have your personal information removed from our database, we will take every reasonable step to delete it unless we need to keep it for legal, auditing or internal risk management reasons.


How will we use and share your information?

This depends on the reason why the information was collected. We will not use or disclose the information you provide to us for any purpose other than the one specified at the time of collection unless you provide further consent for us to do so.

Sometimes we have to disclose your information to other people for a specific purpose, such as when a criminal record check is required. If we use or give others your information, we will still protect your privacy.

Other than these special circumstances we don’t disclose your information to anyone else. Importantly, we don’t rent, sell or exchange your information without your consent. Where we tell you about opportunities with partners, we will not give your information to them; it will be up to you to contact them directly.


How do we keep your information safe?

We take all reasonable steps to keep your information safe (whether electronic or in hard copy) and up to date. This includes complying with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, which covers security of payment card information. Our employees and service providers are also expected to keep personal and payment card information confidential and secure.

What we do

Hello, we’re Foodbank. 

We believe everyone should have access to good food no matter their situation. We’re here for the everyday Australians who are going without. We are working hard to change that.

In Australia, we provide food and grocery relief to 2,929 front-line charities and 3,220 school breakfast programs to help feed people in need. Last year alone, we sourced enough food for 92 million meals.

Find out more about how we provide food relief below or find out how you can support us.

Learn how we’re ending hunger and create change every day, with the help of our incredible partners.

We source and distribute meals —supporting charities, schools and communities in need.

Foodbank WA works with an amazing network of community partners to source fresh food, groceries and personal items, so we can distribute them to those in need.

It takes some amazing partnerships and logistics to make sure that donated food finds its way to plates around Western Australia.

Fundraising directly helps us to keep the lights on and get food where it needs to go.

We have initiatives designed to address the heart of the hunger problem in WA and Australia.
