Food For Families
We need your workplace's help to support people when they need it most.
Right now, more families than ever are struggling to put food on the table. By hosting a Food For Families collection, your workplace can help make a real difference.
Bring your team together around something that matters. A collection gives your team a shared goal that goes beyond the day-to-day. It’s an easy, impactful way to build morale and foster a culture of giving.
Every item collected goes directly to Uniting’s emergency relief pantries across Victoria and Tasmania — stocking shelves that families and people doing it can pick from for them and their families.
When you register, we send you a free Welcome Kit with everything you need: suggested shopping lists, posters, and a messaging guide to share with your team. Drop off your donations at your nearest Uniting centre, or call us to discuss a pick-up.
How it works
Receive you free Welcome Pack, including a suggested shopping list, resources and tips to support your food drive.
Place collection boxes in visible locations and tell everyone about your collection.
Take your donations to your closest Uniting drop off point or schedule a pick-up by calling us on 1800 668 426 (select option 4) or emailing [email protected].

Food For Families has been running for over 30 years
The program brings local communities together to donate non-perishable food and household essential items through collections by schools, kindergartens, congregations, workplaces, community groups, individuals and families.
The food, gifts and household essentials are distributed at our emergency relief, family services and outreach centres across Victoria and Tasmania. Families can select food from our food pantry when times get tough and bills stack up. We also provide food that’s easy to prepare for people experiencing homelessness.
Make your impact go further
Set up a Food For Families donation page for your team to help stock our pantries with most-needed items. All donations receive a tax-deductible receipt. You can even ask your workplace to dollar match your team’s donations to double your impact for families doing it tough.
Call Supporter Services on 1800 668 426 or set up a fundraising page online.
