Working with<\/span>
Farmers and Growers <\/h1> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/svg> <\/section>

Farming communities work closely with Foodbank to donate and share their nutritious products such as rice, meat, milk, grains, eggs and fresh fruit and veggies. <\/h4> <\/div> <\/div>

Capturing these products is made possible by working collaborative along the entire food supply chain – from farmers and pack sheds to retailers and produce markets, this delicious, Australian produce is often diverted from potential landfill and distributed directly to the Foodbank charity network and school breakfast program, ready to fill school lunch boxes or make a hearty meal. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/section>
