Marcus.
There’s something we want you to see.
Your gift of $250 on March 18 is already stacking pallets, filling hampers, and putting meals on Queensland tables — 10,000 every single hour.
Marcus, because of you, 10,000 meals reach a Queensland family every single hour — 22 million this year — so a child goes to bed with a full tummy instead of a grumbling one.
Picture a clock. Every time the minute hand sweeps a full circle, 10,000 meals leave a Foodbank Queensland dock and land on a real family's table. Hour after hour, all year long, that rhythm never stops — and it added up to 22 million meals for Queenslanders facing hunger.
This was a milestone year. As Queensland's largest hunger relief charity, Foodbank opened two new Food Distribution Centres in Brisbane and Townsville, more than doubling operational space from 1,800m2 to over 5,000m2 and reaching deeper into regional areas where up to 43% of households experience food insecurity.
Beyond simply moving more food, Foodbank began laying the groundwork for long-term, community-led change — Feeding Queensland Kids and Partnerships for Food Equity, co-designed with local communities and First Nations organisations to tackle the root causes of hunger.
And when disaster struck, the clock only sped up. The Disaster Support Program activated five pre-positioned Relief Supply Points, delivering over 200 pallets of food, water, hygiene kits and clean-up gear to communities hit by floods, bushfires and ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred — often within two hours of a call for help.
Being able to fill my children and not have them go to bed hungry with their tummies grumbling is a big thing. Whenever I'm able to receive a food hamper, it's just such a relief that my kids are still fed.— Amanda, Food for Kids hamper recipient
This is what 22 million meals looks like.
You joined a number bigger than any one gift.
Only about 7% in every 100 supporters give at your level — enough to keep the hampers moving for a whole Queensland town.
Thank you, Marcus.
