Food Bank Victoria is an independent organisation designed to serve community support agencies in the vital role of providing more food, to more people, at lower costs. All community support agencies can join Food Bank Victoria, regardless of size, philosophy or affiliation. Food Bank Victoria services large agencies, such as Salvation Army Community Centres, St. Vincent de Paul, Sacred Heart Mission, Mission to Streets and Lanes. Smaller bodies, such as parish groups and agencies, receive the most benefit from Food Bank Victoria by redirecting funds, normally spent on food, to other equally vital areas of assistance. Costs are reduced because Food bank Victoria collects food on agencies behalf.
Agencies gain access to a wider range of nutritious food.
