Become a food and grocery partner

Our food and grocery partners help us feed people in need.
With the support of our food and grocery partners, we are able to get nutritious fruit and veg and essential pantry staples to the millions of people in Australia going without.
We can do this by accepting a wide range of products:
- Everything in a supermarket with the exception of alcohol and tobacco
- Product in any format, from retail packaging to loose in bins or bulk bags
- Product within Best Before or Use By Date
- Product that has been deleted or marketing concepts that didn’t quite hit the mark
- Product that may be over or under weight, incorrect labeling, incorrect or faulty packaging
- Surplus product to your requirements or without a market
- Private label product

Collaborative Supply Program
Another way to get involved is via our world leading Collaborative Supply Program. We work with ingredient providers, packaging suppliers and transport operators to produce a regular supply of rice, pasta, pasta sauce, fresh milk, cereal and sausages for Foodbank charities throughout the year.

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.
