MINIMISING WASTE,
MAXIMISING IMPACT

A food rescue charity run by youth, positively
impacting the environment and our community.

Who Are We

FoodFilled is an innovative youth-led, volunteer centric food rescue charity dedicated to combating food wastage and alleviating hunger.

We save 10,000+ kilos of perfectly edible food every month to provide more than 20,000 meals to people in need and boast an ever-growing network of volunteers and partners.

Our unique localised approach allows us to harness the power of community members to rescue leftover, excess or unsold edible food from local retailers and take it directly to local charities in need. This sustainable circular economy model means we can bridge gaps left by the large food rescue organisations, efficiently and effectively getting essential food support to those who need it most whilst ensuring that no food retailers or amount of edible food, no matter how small,
are overlooked or left behind.

FoodFilled acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which our office/operations reside, the Bunurong, Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Wadawurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our deepest respects to their Elders past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We recognise that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have cared for Country for millennia, nurturing deep connections to land, waters, and sky. Their knowledge, systems and sustainable practices reflect a profound respect for resources, grounded in the principles of food sovereignty, community care, and environmental stewardship.

We are committed to learning from and standing alongside Indigenous communities as we work towards a more just, sustainable, and equitable food system.
