Yesterday, we teamed up with The Smith Family and Lifeline appealing for support ahead of the new financial year, as the cost-of-living crisis is hitting our communities harder than ever.

Hamilton, you were an absolute delight.

With more than 5,000 kg of fresh fruit and vegetables, our team rolled out another one of our Fresh Produce Pop‑ups, spreading good food and good energy throughout the Hamilton community and neighbouring suburbs.

A huge thank‑you to Joblink Plus for partnering with us and playing a pivotal role in bringing this event to life.

Men and boys are encouraged to prioritise their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing during this Men's Health Week, but for many, even accessing nutritious food is a challenge. Food insecurity can make it harder to stay healthy, seek support, or show up for the people who rely on them.

At Foodbank NSW & ACT, we see the impact every day. A full pantry doesn’t just fill stomachs, it fuels energy, resilience and connection. This Men’s Health Week, we’re reminding every dad, brother, uncle, son and mate that health starts with the basics, and support is always within reach.

If you need help, we’re here.
If you can help, your support goes further than you think.

Let’s make Men’s Health Week 2026 a moment to check in, share a meal and strengthen the wellbeing of men across NSW and the ACT.

As the lights dim on Vivid Sydney 2026, we are feeling incredibly grateful.

This partnership gave us the chance to share the reality of food insecurity with thousands, and we could not have done it without the support of Vivid Sydney, who trusted us to bring this message into the heart of the event.

To our brilliant collaborators ThinkHQ, Artify, Harry the hirer and Killer Image Signs & Vehicle Wrapping, thank you for helping turn a simple idea into an experience that sparked conversations, smiles and moments of connection.

The biggest thank you goes to our staff and volunteers who greeted every visitor with warmth and helped them pack our digital Foodbank truck at lightning speed, shared our mission with compassion and made every night feel special.

And to the public who joined us in the fun and donated, thank you for supporting us. Together, we are continuing to go where hunger is, no matter what it takes.
