Foodbank Queensland

Foodbank Queensland Foodbank Queensland is the largest hunger relief charity in the state. At Foodbank, we believe everyone should have access to food.

There are Australians going without every day and we are working hard to change that. Foodbank in Queensland provides millions of kilograms of food and groceries to more 350 frontline charities and over 400 School Breakfast Programs each year. Together, we give food and hope to more than 150,000 Queenslanders in need each week. Every $1 donated to Foodbank Queensland provides 2 meals to someone in need.

"It reduces a lot of pressure."

Sometimes, access to free groceries means a student can worry a little less about food and focus a little more on their studies.

That's why Foodbank Queensland and Allianz Partners, proud sponsor of our International Student Markets, continue to work together to provide fresh produce, pantry staples and practical support for students experiencing food insecurity.

Earlier this month, students at Griffith University's Nathan Campus accessed nutritious food and shared how food assistance is helping reduce financial pressure and improve their day-to-day lives.

When good food is available, communities find creative ways to make it go further. 🍓

At a local school breakfast club, surplus strawberries collected through Foodbank Queensland didn't go to waste.

After being rescued from a local farm, sorted at our Food Distribution Centre and shared through our School Breakfast Program, excess strawberries were turned into homemade jam and strawberry cake by parents, which were enjoyed by students at the next breakfast club.

It's a small story that shows the full impact of food rescue. What started as surplus fruit became nourishing breakfasts, reduced food waste and an opportunity for the school community to come together and make the most of every berry.

“That bag of rice, that tin of beans - that can be life changing.”

When you're facing impossible choices, even the simplest items can mean everything.

For Amanda, receiving food support wasn't just about putting meals on the table. It brought relief during a difficult time, eased some of the daily pressure and helped her focus on what mattered most.

Stories like Amanda's remind us why access to essential food matters so much. A bag of rice. A tin of beans. A little support at the right moment can make all the difference.
