Foodbank South Australia

Foodbank’s innovative partnership with the South Australian Produce Market Limited and the fruit and vegetable industry tackles food insecurity and access to healthy foods for those who can least afford it, whilst also rescuing edible surplus produce that otherwise would have gone to waste.

Established in 2013 with an on-site presence, the relationship between the South Australian Produce Market Limited and Foodbank has seen donations of fresh fruit and vegetables from within the market reaching more than 1.5 million kgs donated per annum.

Foodbank South Australia is a non-profit organisation which relies on the support of a large network of dedicated people who have a commitment to fulfilling the vision of a South Australia without hunger.

Established in South Australia in 2000, Foodbank SA’s core concept remains simple – to feed those in need by redistributing surplus food.

Foodbank SA provides food relief to more than 135,000 South Australians every month – with one third of them being children.

Foodbank SA provides more than 6.8 million meals, through their warehouses in Edwardstown, Mount Gambier, Berri , Whyalla and Central Australia and Food Hubs in Edwardstown, Elizabeth, Woodville, Christies Beach, Murray Bridge, Alice Springs, Mount Gambier, Whyalla and Ceduna and two Mobile Food Hubs. In addition, Foodbank supports to a network of 586 charities and supports more than 550 school programs including School Breakfast Programs across the state.
