Many food banks and charities accept donations year-round, so it’s great that you’re thinking of giving outside the holiday season! Local places like Foodbank, OzHarvest, and SecondBite have regular donation points and can accept non-perishable foods, especially items with long expiry dates. Community centers and some local supermarkets often have collection bins, and even some charities like St. Vincent de Paul and Salvation Army have drop-off points where food donations are welcomed any time.

You could also check with local churches or schools, as some run ongoing food drives or know where items can be distributed to families in need nearby. It’s so thoughtful of you to want to help regularly!

Look up local church groups/community groups. They help people in need alot.

You can go to your local community centre and check with them. Even the food banks and salvos can help guide you on where you can help those in need as well

Get in contact with your local Foodbank – they’re always happy to take donations if you can drop them off to the local depot.

Food bank website, theres a place called DRERS in the yarra ranges, salvo stores, and more and more op shops are taking food donations too.

The Salvation Army does a community outreach program through the week. Any of their churches should be able to point you in the right direction. Such a positive movement.

Do you have a local food bank store or ask the salvos or op shops they may know where you can donate

my local supermarket has a spot set up at the front of store to leave donations

Places like City Mission or any other reputable charities would be willing to take donations if it’s unopened and has a good shelf life. Give one of your local charities a call.

Find you local Foodbank. Also connect with you local community centre who may have a give freely cart (or similar) for those in need to take what they need. Our Childcare also have a give freely cart for families in need.

Get in touch with Anglicare Australia and see if there are any local food pantries in your area.

Almost every community has food pantries. Look for organisations like Communities at Work, the Salvos, St Vincent de Paul, Ozharvest.

In Victoria there are places called food share. But as someone has mentioned, try googling the suggested charity’s closest to you

In WA, we have a lot of Little Free Pantry’s at libraries and community centres. Shopping centres often work with Food Bank WA to collect donations. It’s also worth contacting your local church to check if they’re taking donations.

I always use Google to search for answers I am unsure about.

There are plenty of organisations supporting homeless and those at risk of being homeless. I would source out a local organisation and find out what they need and see if that works for you.

Have a quick search on the foodbank website to see what supports are available in your area that you can make donations to.

Find a local food pantry. Or a charity like Communities at Work, which runs both food pantries/food hamper programs and cooking programs for low income/disadvantaged people.

There are community centres or community pantries in some areas. Otherwise if you’re around Brisbane or Northern NSW I imagine there will be food donation collection sites soon
