About Foodbank
Foodbank is the largest food relief organisation in Australia, distributing food and groceries through more than 2,800 charities.
Nearly half (48%) of Australia’s low-income households (earning less than $30,000 per year) are experiencing food insecurity at the highest rate since the onset of the cost-of-living crisis.
More than half (59%) of all food-insecure households are experiencing the most extreme level of hardship, regularly skipping meals or going entire days without food.
Single-parent households are the hardest hit, with over two-thirds (69%) facing food insecurity and 41% experiencing the severest form, regularly skipping meals or going entire days without food.
Food out
In FY 20-21 we distributed more than 10 million kilograms of food – the equivalent of putting 18.1 million meals on tables for people in need.
Foodbank Victoria provides 1.5 million meals to Victorians every month.
School Breakfast Clubs Program
The School Breakfast Clubs Program, delivered in partnership with the Victorian Government, continues to tackle hunger in the classroom, with more than 6 million student meals delivered in 2020-21.

Volunteers
In 2020-21, 71 individual volunteers collectively contributed 6,161 hours, and 479 corporate volunteers from various organisations kindly donated a total of 2,953 hours.
MINIMAX X FOODBANK 2023
Together, We Donated
220,000
Meals for Australians in Need
With your help, we have made a difference. Last October, we collaborated with Foodbank ambassadors Hamish Blake and Chrissie Swan, along with Attica head chef Ben Shewry, MasterChef dessert queen Kirsten Tibballs, and model/presenter Bec Judd, to create art-filled spatulas to raise funds and awareness for Foodbank.
Thanks to your support, we've made a significant impact. This week, we had the privilege of delivering the donation to Foodbank, which many of you generously contributed to during the Christmas shopping season. Our customers embraced these one of a kind spatulas, resulting in a $110,000 donation to Foodbank, providing 220,000 meals to Australians in need.
Recognising the financial strain many families face, we felt it was the opportune moment to lend a hand to those that need a little help in putting food on the table. We're thrilled that many of our customers shared our sentiment and contributed to this worthy cause.
Andrea McCormick, CEO of Minimax, met with Matt Tilley, Chief Communications Officer of Foodbank, and Foodbank Ambassador Chrissie Swan to present the Minimax cheque and gain insight into how the funds will support local communities where the spatulas were sold.
Thank you for buying one of our iconic spatulas & helping us fight hunger in Australia.
MINIMAX X FOODBANK 2022
Together, We Donated
100,000
Meals for Australians in Need
With your help, we have made a difference. We had the pleasure of handing over our donation to Foodbank which many of you contributed to over the Christmas shopping period in 2022. Our customers donated an amazing $43,344 and we thought $50,000 was a better number, so Minimax made up the difference to reach $50,000.
With the cost of living pressures many families are experiencing, we felt it was the right time to help those that need a little help in putting food on the table & we were delighted that many of our customers agreed and contributed also.
Andrea McCormick (CEO-Minimax) & Rose Edlund (National Sales Manager – Minimax) met with Matt Tilley, Chief Communications Officer from Foodbank to hand over the Minimax cheque & learn about how the funds will help the local communities. The $50,000 has been distributed across Australia, in each state where the donations were made. Our sincere thanks for digging deep this Christmas & helping us fight hunger in Australia.
