About FoodShare
Albury Wodonga FoodShare is at the heart of food security in our community. By working together, we’re able to increase both the quantity and quality of food available to those in need across the region.
FoodShare is more than a food relief agency. It is part of the vital social infrastructure of the region that brings together food security, health, community support, and educational benefits to those in need.
Last year 869,156 kilograms of food is collected by FoodShare. This equates to one million meals, which is distributed to 100,000 people experiencing food insecurity in our region.
Providing food to over 120 agencies, community centres and schools, FoodShare distributes food supplies across a 150km radius of Albury-Wodonga.
This vital work is made possible by an award winning team of over 250 highly motivated volunteers, who collectively contribute to over 31,000 hours of service each year.
Community Pantry
In 2021, FoodShare introduced a Community Pantry initiative to offer a flexible and empowering approach to food security.
The social supermarket and hamper service supports individuals and families struggling to put food on the table by offering stability and choice through access to fresh food and pantry staples.
Over 600 families are supported each month with access to access to nutritious groceries, household essentials, and culturally appropriate food options, helping to reduce food insecurity and promote dignity.
