Food Angels, if you're ready to pull on your wings and fundraise to help Foodbank feed 69,000 people every day, you can do whatever you love to do.
1. Create your own event
It's wild (in a good way) to think that by hosting a birthday party, getting married, holding a bake sale or holding a trivia night you can ALSO be raising funds to help Foodbank. Get your friends, family, workplace or club involved and create your own high-flying fundraiser. Wing-a-ding-ding!
2. The Challenge
If you’re an angel who loves to take on a challenge - this ones for you. Whether you're an active angel who loves climbing stuff, lifting heavy things or riding many km's, or you want to do a reading challenge, shave your head, stream a video game - you can set up your very own challenge fundraiser.
3. Food Fight, Food Fight
This unique active way for students to get real messy to feed people is just like a school colour run, but with the fun amped up by about 1000%. There are fake foods to piff and slime to slosh while your school raises urgently needed funds to buy real food for people in need. Score an A+ for kindness.
How to set up YOUR Foodbank fundraiser - it's super simple
1. Register
Create a Foodbank fundraising page that you can personalise with cool plans and pics, and where you can track all those funds you'll be raising to help feed people.
2. Share
Share your fundraising page by email, social media or any way you can and watch your donations grow like a beautiful digital tree that doesn't need water.
3. Fundraise
All your donations will appear on your page - instantly. If you’re fundraising with a team, you’ll see the total on your group’s team page. Nice one.

Charlie's Reindeer Food
Selling bags of reindeer food to raise money for Foodbank Victoria. Who would dream up such a thing? Meet Charlie of 'Charlie's Reindeer Food'.
At such a young age, he's not only an expert on the plant based dietary requirements of reindeers but so full of heart - and entrepreneurial too. Charlie set up a little manufacturing operation at home, packaging up carrots for his reindeer food product line to sell to family and friends to raise money for Foodbank.
Manorvale Primary School Food Fight
When students, parents and teacher at Manorvale Primary School held a Food Fight to raise money for Foodbank, you couldn't wipe the grins (or the slime) off their faces.
"It was really important for us to show the students how they can give back. The whole community got involved and they've just had a ball. Students also got to learn more about other people who don't have access to food on a daily basis and how we can help them." - Brianna Morelli, Principal.
