Foodbank bushfire appeal calls for funds, food and groceries

Thursday 9 January 2020 – Australia’s leading hunger relief organisation, Foodbank, is playing a crucial role in the current unprecedented bushfire crisis and has the latest urgent request – Foodbank is still accepting donations from the public in all states around the country, but it’s preference is funds to be donated at www.foodbank-new.theteamserver.com.

Foodbank warehouses are open in every capital city for the general public to drop off donations of much-needed food and groceries.

Most wanted items:

• Donated funds to www.foodbank-new.theteamserver.com
• UHT Milk
• Bottled water
• Breakfast cereals
• Good quality tinned foods and meals (with ring pulls)
• Pasta, rice and noodles
• Grab-and-go foods like muesli bars
• Pet food
• Baby products – formula, nappies, pureed food in jars / pouches

 

With more than one in five Australians experiencing food poverty at some point in the last 12 months[1], Foodbank Australia is currently providing food and grocery relief to 815,000 Australians every month, on top of additional support to communities currently experiencing natural disasters.
