Who we help

With skyrocketing rents, a severe housing shortage, and a surge in homelessness, 53% of Australians are struggling to afford basic necessities like food and shelter.

​

Every night, over 1,300 people find themselves without a home in Perth, including 689 individuals forced to sleep rough.

​

The 2023 Foodbank Hunger Report reveals a staggering reality: 388,000 households in Western Australia are facing food insecurity. This includes 120,000 families with children. A shocking one in three Western Australian households is forced to skip meals or compromise on nutritious food choices.

So What is Food Insecurity?

Food insecurity encompasses a spectrum of experiences, from uncertainty about securing enough food and compromising on nutritional value to disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake.
