Needy Australians

GIVE FOOD

There are many people living in Australia who do not have enough food to eat. Children go to school without breakfast, families struggle to put enough on the table to go around, and people sleeping rough can't always get what they need to stay healthy.

Donating food items or parcels is a great way of helping out the community and can make a huge difference to an individual or family.

Donations of food can also reduce the growing amount of food that ends up in landfill every year, which is not only wasteful but environmentally unsustainable.

It's estimated that Australians throw away up to 20% of the food they purchase, the equivalent of buying five bags of groceries and throwing one away - that's close to 3 million tonnes of food waste per year.
