Donate Food

Help turn surplus food into meals and grocery support for people doing it tough

The need for food relief has never been greater. Donate food today and help us meet the growing demand. 

SecondBite rescues millions of kilograms of quality surplus food every year from growers, manufacturers and retailers.  

We share the food with our FareShare kitchens and a nationwide network of charity partners – to help feed people in need. 

How to donate food

Our experienced food rescue team works with businesses to make donating food simple, safe and efficient: 

• We accept a wide range of donated foods from HACCP and Freshcare certified businesses – including bulk and food service products. 

• Our trucks can collect food donations directly from businesses and farms, or we happily accept deliveries to our warehouses around Australia 

• We can collect large volume food donations from remote and regional locations using third party logistics. 

• The minimum donation is half a pallet of food. 

• We cannot accept food donations from individuals, or those on a small scale, unless a specific food drive has been pre-arranged. 

• Due to food safety standards, we cannot accept donations of pre-prepared sandwiches or fruit platters. 

How we share food 

• Your donated food can be shared as fresh food hampers and grocery support or turned into nutritious, ready‑to‑eat meals in our FareShare kitchens. 

• The meals and food are shared free of charge with people facing hardship through a network of frontline charity partners around Australia.
