Food Relief Donation Drive
Empower Australia’s Food Relief Centres are here to support the most vulnerable in the community.
There are families and communities in desperate need of food and basic supplies. Over 1,300 people visit our relief centres every week, and with your help, we are making a great impact. Your donations help go towards supporting our community in getting through these tough times. So, why not buy a few extra things this week when you go grocery shopping?
If you have a large amount to donate, please contact us. We would love to meet you and arrange a time for drop-off at our main site in Southbank.
You can help make a difference today!
