 What does Foodbank do?
Foodbank encourages manufacturers in the food, beverage
and grocery industries to donate their products to those in need.
How does Foodbank
work?
Manufacturers deliver their donated products to our Foodbanks in NSW, Victoria,
Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia. The food is sorted, stored
and made available to accredited welfare agencies throughout Australia. The food
is used in the preparation of meals or distributed as food parcels to needy Australian
families.
What Foodbank offers the Food Industry.
Single access to a huge number
of registered and accredited charitable agencies which are providing on-site
food relief. These welfare agencies include The Salvation Army, St. Vincent De
Paul Society & Anglicare. Assurance that Welfare Agencies are required to
sign a legal undertaking to accept product as is and not sell, exchange or barter
product for money, or other products or services. Assurance that Foodbank will
monitor the activities of accredited agencies to ensure that they are biding
by the terms of their contract.
