Our Mission
TO HELP ALLEVIATE FOOD INSECURITY IN AUSTRALIA
At Food For Change, we believe in an abundant Australia.
As an Australian food charity, it is our mission to help alleviate food insecurity across the nation, ensuring that no individual or family goes hungry.
Our organisation is here to support Australians no matter their background or circumstances, ensuring that they receive the food relief that they deserve.
At Food For Change, our volunteers grow their own produce, lead food rescue initiatives, support food relief agencies and reduce food waste across the country. This is all done with one goal in mind: to alleviate food inequality, which devastates thousands of Australians each year.
Founded in 2016, Food For Change has made a positive impact on the lives of many. With the help of our volunteers, we are working towards a future where no person needs to go without food.
At Food For Change we value sustainability and fresh food. Grow your own food with our Seeds For Change Program, or sign up to our Monthly Fresh Food Box with all profits going towards feeding people in need.
Help change the lives of 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. 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 service is available 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.
