Our second‑last Student Market Stall is officially wrapped at WSU Parramatta, and what a day it was.

With cost‑of‑living pressures hitting students harder than ever, being able to support over 470 students with free fresh fruit, veggies and pantry staples means more than we can say. These stalls offer a small moment of relief and a reminder that no one should have to choose between studying and eating.

A huge thank you to Allianz Partners for standing beside us and making days like this possible. Your partnership helps us show up for students who need it most, and that will always be a priority for Foodbank NSW & ACT. 💜

Thank you. 💜

We’re still riding the high from last week and are completely blown away by your generosity. The whole Foodbank team is feeling so grateful and inspired.

Because of you, we hit our Giving Day target.

That means we can now deliver 15,000 hampers to families doing it tough. Fifteen thousand moments of relief. Fifteen thousand tables with food on them. Fifteen thousand families who’ll feel supported when they need it most.

And from all of us: thank you for helping us reach more people than ever before. A special thank you to ALAND Foundation, The Drew Family, and a group of committed donors, whose support doubled donations and played a major role in bringing this goal to life.

Our Gilgandra Fresh Produce Pop-up was kinda chic!

Skye opens up about her family’s journey and why hampers mean more than just food. 💜

A hamper can be the vital helping hand at a much-needed time. It can take the pressure off long enough for a family to breathe, to get back on their feet. As Skye says, to feel like they're “not alone”.

"People might think they're just donating a few dollars," Skye says. "But to families like mine, it's huge. It means meals on the table. It means the kids get fruit and veggies. It means we can have meat for dinner instead of going without.

As we prepare for Giving Day, Thursday 24 September 2026, donations are now open. Head to foodbankna.org/donate-giving-day and help us reach more people than ever before.
