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.

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.
