Hold a food drive
Despite feeding over a million people every month across Australia, we estimate that we still need 50% more food to provide enough for all the people seeking assistance.
Community food donations directly help provide food to those who need it and reduce food waste.
Register your food driveYour food drive makes a real difference
A food drive helps collect non-perishable food and personal items for Foodbank WA so we can direct them to families doing it tough.
You can help by organising your own food drive for Foodbank at your workplace, school or community group.
Individual and corporate food drives
It doesn’t matter whether your food drive is big or small. An individual or corporate food drive can help us get more food, grocery and personal items to people who need them.
School food drives
A food drive at your school is a great way for students to learn about food insecurity in WA and about the power of giving. You can have a lot of fun with different school food drive ideas.
Seasonal food drives
Hold a food drive ahead of the busiest time of the year, Easter, winter and Christmas by encouraging people to donate non-perishable food and items.
