Bendigo Foodshare works with businesses, philanthropic donors, food manufacturers and retailers, charity partners and volunteers to address food poverty and waste in Central Victoria.
Our supporters contribute more than just money. Their advocacy, volunteerism and in-kind support help us collect more surplus food, expand our services and assist the growing number of Central Victorians struggling with food insecurity.
Now Bendigo Foodshare is growing and we need a new home! Demand for food relief has grown over 40% meaning 1 in 9 people in Greater Bendigo go without food. Due to this increase in demand we need to fit out a new warehouse. This was dubbed our Mission Possible and we are very excited to say that in 2021, we have achieved this goal with the support of the Victorian Government through the Community Support Fund www.dtf.vic.gov.au/communitysupportfund
However, we still need to raise funds to keep our current warehouse operating and keep our fridges running and vans on the road to so we can provide greater food relief across Central Victoria. Bendigo Foodshare is Hungry for Change and we need your help!
We value all our generous supporters and donors, and we are continually welcoming new organisations to our growing family of partners. Whether you’re a micro-business or ASX top 100 company, there are many ways your business can support the work we do and help us achieve our goals.
