About Foodbank's Hunger Drive
This September, your donations are being matched!
Foodbank feeds Australians in need every day. Foodbank in Queensland is the largest state hunger relief charity, supporting thousands of families and school children every week via food delivery to charities and schools.
Foodbank urgently needs more funds to expand our reach – to create a future where no child or adult in our state experiences hunger.
The Foodbank Hunger Drive is our biggest fundraising event of the year. Whether you decide to make a one-off donation, or create a Hunger Drive fundraiser, you can change a life by becoming a Foodbank Hunger Fighter today. 100% of your fundraising will be spent on sourcing and transporting essential food across our state to those who need support most.
Every dollar you raise during Foodbank’s Hunger Drive will be DOUBLED*
providing TWICE as many meals to Queenslanders in need.
That means, every dollar you raise this September will create an incredible FOUR MEALS for someone going hungry!
Many people are pretending that everything is fine – they don’t want anyone to know that they’re struggling to put food on the table for their families. But hunger is affecting thousands of children and hardworking mums and dads in Queensland. Not having enough food for yourself or your family is not something that people want to broadcast or even share with their friends. That’s why you don’t hear much about it – it’s a silent crisis.
Please support the Hunger Drive and become a Foodbank Hunger Fighter this September. Tackling hunger here in Queensland is a massive team effort, and we are incredibly grateful to have your support!

What food
do e s Foodbank provide?
We source and rescue a mix of fresh vegetables and fruits, long-life pantry essentials (like rice, pasta, flour, long life milk, tinned produce and meal bases) and short-life essentials like bread, milk, meat, cheese and yoghurt. The average food donation we source could fill your lounge room with food!
Do e s Queensland have a hunger problem?
Hunger is a big problem in Queensland. Many people are pretending that everything is fine – they don’t want anyone to know that they’re struggling to put food on the table for their families. But hunger is affecting thousands of children and hardworking mums and dads in Queensland. Not having enough food for yourself or your family is not something that people want to broadcast or even share with their friends. That’s why you don’t hear much about it – it’s a silent crisis. Foodbank works with farmers and retailers to source fresh food and grocery items for those in need every week.
Why can't I donate food myself?
Foodbank Qld works directly with farmers, manufacturers and retailers on such a large scale that accepting small ad-hoc donations from the public reduces our overall efficiently and increases operating costs. Thanks to incredible retail supporters, Foodbank can buy essentials foods heavily discounted, so we can buy much more with your dollar than you could buy at your local supermarket.
