Details

The Foodbank Fundamentals Fund is specifically for organisations whose core purpose is to distribute food and alleviate food poverty in their local community.

If you are a foodbank or food service provider that needs to stock up on food, invest in equipment to expand your reach, or support the delivery of your services, the Foodbank Fundamentals Fund is here to help.

Funding can be used for food (including baby items), basic hygiene products, white goods, storage, fittings, and fuel for deliveries to isolated individuals.
