We’ve completed our first month of donations to Foodbank Queensland and are excited to share how they’re putting our support to work in the community.
This year also marks Foodbank Queensland’s 30th anniversary. Since their humble beginnings, they’ve grown into the state’s largest hunger relief organisation—distributing over 212 million kilograms of food.
Foodbank Queensland ran a ‘No Child Hungry Appeal’ which ran for one day and raised over $343,964 helping to fund 86 School Breakfast Programs for an entire year. This means that thousands of Queensland children will start their school day with a full stomach, ready to learn and thrive. Very close to home, we saw firsthand the difference this makes at Murarrie State School, where breakfast is not just about food—it’s about building a stronger, more connected school community.

Following ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, Foodbank Queensland quickly mobilised, delivering 500,000 extra meals to hard-hit areas like the Gold Coast, Logan, and Ipswich.
Celebrating 30 years, Foodbank Queensland has grown from a small operation in Fortitude Valley to the state’s largest hunger relief organisation. From a goal of moving 1 million kg of food per year, they now distribute over 13.7 million kg annually—over 212 million kg since 1995.
Each week, they support 150,000 Queenslanders via 350+ Community Partners, and their School Breakfast Program helps 50,000 students across 400 schools start the day with a meal.
