Our Mission

TO HELP ALLEVIATE FOOD INSECURITY IN AUSTRALIA

At Food For Change, we believe in an abundant Australia. 

Our mission is to help alleviate food insecurity across the nation, ensuring that no individual or family goes hungry. We’re here to support anyone who needs access to the food relief they need, no matter their background or circumstances. 

The reality is, one in five Australians have experienced food insecurity in the last 12 months. Think about that…one in five… your neighbour, colleague, school kids, friends or even family members could have been or are hungry and they face the uncertainty of not knowing where their next meal is coming from.

At Food For Change, we grow fresh nutritious fruit and vegetables on our farms, lead food rescue initiatives with IGA, food retailers and other partners and support food relief agencies across the country by donating all this food to them.

Since 2016, we have delivered millions of meals for hungry Australians.

Help change the lives of hungry Australians.

Our Solution

GROW | RESCUE | SUPPORT

Grow

Food For Change uses land in partnership with food relief organisations to grow as much food as possible to help feed the millions of hungry Australians who seek food relief every year. We grow nutritious fresh fruit, vegetables & herbs. Our growing program is run by volunteers and all the food that we grow is donated to local food relief agencies.

Rescue

Food For Change has been rescuing food since our inception and during this time we have realised that local, small scale food rescue is not adequately catered for. In response we have developed two unique, app based Food Rescue Programs. In partnership with IGA The programs put local food donors together with local food relief organisations to maximise the amount of food rescued in Australia.

Support

All the food we grow and rescue serves one purpose and that is to support the food relief agencies who feed hungry Australians. From large organisations like St Vincent De Paul to small local agencies, we form strategic partnerships that use existing infrastructure to deliver more food to those in need. But we can’t do it without your support. From volunteering, purchasing one of our food box’s or making a donation every little contribution from our supporters helps us feed hungry Australians.

Fresh Food Box

Our fresh produce delivery helps us fund our mission with 50 meals provided for every box we sell. Currently the fresh food boxes are once a month to people across Victoria, The ACT & NSW. Including Melbourne, Regional VIC, Canberra, Sydney, Central Coast, Newcastle & Wollongong.

Every month, Australians with a Food For Change produce delivery subscription receive a large box with approximately 9kg of fresh produce to supplement their normal shopping with local, fresh produce with all profits helping us on our mission to end hunger in Australia.
