44% of the groceries we provide are healthy, fresh fruit and vegetables. We also supply long-life pantry staples such as rice, pasta, cereal and canned goods, as well as fresh milk, bread, meat and other essentials
Foodbank Queensland does not accept food donations from members of the public, schools or fundraising teams. To operate as efficiently as possible, we source and rescue food on a very large scale from registered food retailers, farmers and manufacturers only. Collecting food this way helps us provide the most food to our network of more than 350 Community Partners in the most cost-effective way. If you are an individual, school, or fundraising team looking to donate food, we recommend finding a local charity or shelter that may be able to accept your donation directly. To find a local food relief charity near you, visit the Find Food page on our website.
