Mobile Foodbank heads South
Hunger doesn’t recognise postcodes – it’s everywhere – and for the growing numbers of people in crisis, accessing transport can be just as difficult as accessing nutritious food.
Over the past two years, our Mobile Foodbank has been taking essential food provisions on the road and out to where it’s needed most.
Our three Mobile Foodbank trucks visit 23 locations across the Perth metro area, delivering dry, meat and fruit and vege food hampers. Thanks to our charity partner Alcoa, we’re now expanding our service to reach families in crisis in Kwinana and Pinjarra.
