Why Foodbank?Whether it’s everyday emergencies or in times of crisis, Foodbank Victoria has been providing vital food relief to vulnerable Victorians for 95 years. We deliver food to people who need it in three different ways: in partnership with our charity partners, through schools and via our regional Community Food Centres.

Across our network of over 470 charity partners and 1200 schools throughout Victoria, we have distributed over 25.1 million meals in the last 12 months and are currently feeding 69,000 Victorians a day.

While supporting our charity and school partners is at the core of what we do, as the state’s dedicated emergency food relief organisation, we’re also here to assist Victorians through natural disasters, pandemics and the ‘invisible disaster’ caused by the ongoing cost of living crisis.

Why we are right for you?Our people come for a career and stay for the mission! You will join an organisation full of passionate and creative people who champion and invest in the vision of helping to fight for a food secure future for all Australians.
