Families shouldn’t be running on empty
Families like Evelyn’s are doing everything they can to keep up. But rising food and fuel costs are making everyday essentials harder to afford – and the situation is getting worse.
In March alone, 53% of Queenslanders reported it’s harder to put food on the table, a sharp increase from the month before. Families who were just managing are now being pushed to the brink, with many feeling the impact of rising grocery prices more than ever.
“By the end of pay fortnight, there isn’t much left. The fridge is bare.” – Evelyn, grandmother.
Right now, families are running on empty, but your support can fill their plate.
Here’s how your gift makes a real difference
Step 1: Foodbank sources food from farmers, retailer and manufacturers
Step 2: Food and groceries are then sorted and stored safely at our Food Distribution Centres
Step 3: Food and groceries are delivered through a network of charities, schools and community organisations
Step 4: Your support puts meals on tables, fills lunchboxes, and helps families get through another day
The reality of hunger in Queensland
For too many Queenslanders, hunger isn’t a distant issue – it’s a daily decision. Right now, families across our state are making impossible choices. These aren’t one-off moments. This is the reality of living through a cost-of-living crisis – where everyday essentials are no longer affordable at the same time.
In March 2026 alone, 17% more Queenslanders found it harder to put food on the table – highlighting the growing impact of cost-of-living pressures across the state.
