Workplace Giving made simple

As Western Australia faces growing food insecurity, the start of a new year is more than resolutions, it’s a chance to create real change.

With one in three households struggling and severe cases rising, workplace giving is one of the easiest and most effective ways to make a lasting impact.

Workplace giving allows employees to donate directly from their pre-tax pay to a chosen charity.

While each contribution may seem small, together they provide reliable support; putting meals on tables, stocking pantries, and ensuring families don’t have to choose between paying for food and other essential bills.

Setting up a donation to Foodbank WA is quick and straightforward. In most workplaces, it takes minutes via payroll or HR systems. Employees choose an amount, and the donation is automatically deducted each pay cycle; no extra costs, no reminders. Many employers match donations, doubling the impact and enabling Foodbank to help even more people access food.

According to the Foodbank Hunger Report 2025, severe food insecurity rose by 18% compared to last year. Families with children and renters are among the hardest hit, with many skipping meals or going whole days without eating. These figures highlight the urgent need for action.

As the new year begins, workplace giving turns good intentions into practical impact. Its generosity made easy – woven into working life – and a meaningful way to support Foodbank WA in creating lasting change.
