Chairman & CEO’s Review for
2013–14 Another successful year
was c ompleted with increased volume
received and delivered to the ever
increasing demand of recipient welfare agencies in NSW & ACT.
Rendering of the new Foodbank NSW & ACT warehouse
Ernest Pope
It has been decided by the Board that Foodbank
NSW should change its name to now be
known as Foodbank NSW & ACT Limited,
as this best recognises the state and territory
it services and this change was effective from
18th August 2014.
2013–14 saw a major increase of almost 900
tonnes from last year, with a total of 5,068
tonnes equating to 6.8 million meals being
distributed to people in need and this was 22%
or 1.2 million meals greater than last year.
Fresh food and groceries distributed by
Foodbank NSW & ACT last year represented a
$35.5 Million saving (retail value) to the charities
and community groups as well as government
agencies. This saving allows these groups to
spend the money saved on counselling and
other support services to address the base cause
of food insecurity in the community
There are currently over 500 active agencies
using Foodbank NSW & ACT and this growing
number reflects the consistent and increased
offer of staple foods together with increased
and consistent quantities of fresh fruit and
vegetables with supplies of this produce up
more than 13%.
The “Waste Not Want Not” project that has
been operating for 3 years with Farmers in the
Riverina combined with donations from Produce
Agents in the Flemington Markets reached new
highs of Fresh Fruit 358 tonnes and Vegetables
876 tonnes for a total of 1,234 tonnes.
The combined inputs from the farming
community (who have continued to experience
very challenging conditions) provide fantastic
support for Foodbank NSW & ACT and we
truly appreciate their commitment to help in
trying times.
Continued supply and the consistent availability
of frozen Chicken, Fish, Beef and Sausages is
fulfilling part of the meat/animal protein needs
— this service is appreciated by the groups
we supply and will be ongoing as we learn and
expand what best suits our Agency’s needs.
We are appreciative of the support received
from Foodbank Australia and the regular
ongoing consistent supply of staple foods
through the Collaborative Supply Program.
The annual grant from the Federal Government
of over $1.1 million and the support of the
Australian Food & Grocery Industry enables our
collaborative supply program to convert each
$1 million received into around $7-10 million
worth of food. This funding is vital to the future
growth of staple products; however it is well
short of demand if we are to ensure consistent
supply of staples such as breakfast cereals,
pasta, rice and UHT milk. Submissions have
been made to the new Federal Government for
a substantial increase in funding to help fulfil
the food supply shortage and we understand
this is still under review.
Our thanks are passed on to Foodbank
Australia’s Enzo Allara AO (Chair), John Webster
(retired CEO), Jason Hincks (new CEO) and Greg
Warren (GM Supply) for the work they do in
promoting the Foodbank cause with the Federal
Government, Australian Food & Grocery Council
and National Food Supply Companies.
Funding from the ACT Government has been
confirmed for 2 years for the transport to
the ACT Welfare Agencies and this has been
arranged by the continued great work of Max
Kimber and the Rotary Club of Canberra.
With the ever increasing volume being
distributed to the agencies the overall cost of
transport is significant and the increased volume
of produce from the Riverina contributes to
these rising freight costs.
We have in place a 3 year agreement to
receive Department of Family & Community
Services funding for transport to NSW
country welfare agencies. While we are very
appreciative of this funding the $50/pallet Levy
has been maintained to offset the shortfall
in transport costs. The increased demand for
products that are free of charge grew by 23%
over last year, which equates to 380 tonnes and
this increase contributes significantly to the
higher transport costs.
During the year the increased availability
of fresh sliced bread from Goodman Fielder
and George Weston Foods has resulted in
bread delivery rising from 8000 to over
13,000 loaves per week.
Our thanks go to the NSW Government
for their Grant of $2 million and the ACT
Government for their Grant of $200,000 for
funding for the new Distribution Centre for
Foodbank NSW & ACT. Currently we cannot
meet the requirements of the hungry in NSW
and ACT, and a major limiting factor is the lack
of space in our current warehouse.
The new Distribution Centre and land will
cost in the vicinity of $14 million and Foodbank
NSW & ACT will contribute over $8 million
from the sale of the existing warehouse
together with other funds that have been
raised over recent years.
A lot of work has been performed by a skilled
sub-committee in the Warehouse design
and land selection and the new site has been
purchased in Owen Street, Glendenning.
The new Distribution Centre construction
will commence in the 3rd quarter of the 2015
financial year with completion expected
around spring 2015.
Ongoing strong emphasis in fundraising has
proved fruitful including being the NSW
Charity of Choice for the Bruce Springsteen
concerts which raised $33,000 in 2014.
Sargents Charitable Foundation has donated
close to $1.5 million in the last 18 months and
these funds have helped make up some of the
shortfall of funds needed to complete the new
Distribution Centre. Increased emphasis on PR,
Marketing and Digital Media is also raising funds
along with lifting our overall profile to the Public
and Corporate sponsors.
In September, 2014 we celebrated our
22nd Birthday with a very successful and
well received Birthday and Fundraising Dinner
at Sydney Showground with 130 Guests
attending and raising over $55,000 towards
the building project.
Volunteer Management and supply is strong
with keen support from Corporate Volunteers,
however managing large numbers of corporates
needs constant monitoring and review as we
need to ensure we operate within the new WHS
rules. Managing many people in the warehouse
is always a challenge due to the size constraints
and the new facility will make this much easier.
Online ordering has been fully integrated
and now over 99% of Agencies are using
this ordering system with a 98% delivery
performance. PricewaterhouseCoopers
and KPMG continue to supply pro-bono
Accounting and Auditing Services and this
is greatly appreciated.
Our Patron, Her Excellency the Governor
of New South Wales, Professor Marie Bashir
AC CVO, retired in September 2014 and
we sincerely thank her for the great support
she provided to us over the past years.
In conclusion we wish to thank our
Volunteers, Staff and Directors for their
dedication and support as without their
combined efforts Foodbank NSW & ACT
could not possibly operate.

OODBANK AGM REPORT
The Heights Community Services a division
of Cabramatta Community Centre currently
provides an average of 40 parcels to families,
pensioners and people with disabilities.
Feedback from participants is very positive and
encourages staff and our team of volunteers to
continue with the provision of the service.
Mirta and Francisco story
Trying to make ends meet with a pension paying
private rent was an impossible challenge. Mirta
and Francisco were struggling financially until
they started receiving the parcel regularly. “We
now have available a variety of fresh vegetables,
pantry items and fridge and freezer items every
fortnight. This allows us to have nutritional
balanced meals and taste a range of foods we
would never purchase. My wife and I believe
that this project can change people’s financial
circumstances that’s why we volunteer in the
making of the parcels and recommend it to
families and friend in need.”

Free Monday Morning Brekky
Monday mornings a free light breakfast is
provided for students through the Chaplaincy
Program. Several students, Phaedra, Amelia,
Andrew, Luke and Jayden assist Mrs Jensen
with setting up and distributing the food items.
These vary from week to week depending on
the ‘specials’ available.
Regular items include, juice, yoghurt, muesli
bars, fresh fruit and hot toasties — filled
with cheese, baked beans or spaghetti.
Approximately 150 students are fed
each Monday.
Mrs Jensen would like to Thank all the students
for their very civil waiting and patience as well
as the many thanks she receives from students
who avail themselves of the service.
THE BENEVOLENT SOCIETY PADDINGTON
Without Foodbank NSW & ACT’s support
at Christmas time last year, many of our
disadvantaged families would not have
received basic food to help them through
an extremely tough time. The hampers were
extremely reasonably priced for the amount
included which meant we could offer food
to more families in need. We couldn’t have
done it without Foodbank and look forward
to using them again this year to offer hampers
to our families.

The Women’s Cottage in Richmond NSW has
been gratefully receiving Foodbank assistance
for our clients since 2008. The women and
families who come to the Women’s Cottage are
able to access Foodbank items Monday–Friday
during our drop-in hours. This means each
day we can assess and support a woman who
may need a little extra food assistance and
it can be done without an appointment. The
Women’s Cottage is extremely appreciative to
the Foodbank organisation and the dedicated
workers there. If it were not for organisations
like Foodbank more people in need would fall
through the gaps.
WODEN COMMUNITY SERVICES INC
Woden Community Service Little Pantry
has been running for six months now.
It has received a constant patronage, with
regular service users and those who just
require one off assistance.
With a long time need in this area there
has also been great support from St. Albans
Anglican Church who assist with volunteers
on a regular basis.
Other benefits are the contact with
marginalized persons who we can refer
to services within the organization and
external referrals.
Feedback from service users has been very
positive and at this stage we are not restricting
area of living to those who attend.

I know that when our team from Telstra
volunteered we found it to be an enriching
experience. The fact that you help so many
people by supplying them with something we
take for granted, made us all realise how lucky
we are. I’ve continued to support the cause
and held a big brekkie at work last week to
raise funds. Everyone loved it! I will continue
to support and volunteer in any way I can and I
commend the work your organisation does.
Mel, Telstra
Foodbank NSW & ACT do an enormous job
for those that aren’t fortunate enough and for
me, being able to volunteer at Foodbank NSW
& ACT. It has been a real eye opener and the
difference organizations like Foodbank NSW &
ACT do for the wider community.
Keep up the great work!
Will, De Lage Landen
Foodbank NSW & ACT volunteer activity is very
well organised. It’s a fantastic team building
experience to contribute our time for a great
cause. The Foodbank NSW & ACT team have
always been proactive and kept us informed
with all the detailed information to ensure that
we enjoy the time volunteering at Foodbank.
Kate, Salesforce
Foodbank NSW & ACT Ltd is a great
organisation to volunteer in. They are set up
well to accommodate volunteers with a very
‘hands on’ opportunity to help. We were given
a good overview of the crucial work Foodbank
does and the charities they support. I got a
better appreciation of the enormous logistics
involved in providing supplies to the many
missions and needs and loved that the staff
were so friendly and appreciative of our efforts
to assist.
It was a great experience to be of assistance to
such a wonderful organisation. The world would
be a sad place without people like Foodbank.
We would definitely recommend volunteering
Foodbank NSW & ACT Ltd to everyone.
Janelle, MLC Community Foundation,
National Australia Bank
On behalf of the NSW Field Team, I’d like to
thank you for allowing us to experience a
small part of what you do daily.
It was a very rewarding experience, and while
it helped us to sell against our major Q3
event, it is safe to say it will live with us well
beyond that event.
This experience was shared across our
Queensland, Victoria, and Adelaide offices
(including the WA, NT, and Tasmanian
Field Teams).
David, Kellogg’s
At Cerebos Australia we are passionate about
connecting people through great food and
coffee and we find the values of Foodbank NSW
& ACT to be closely aligned with our own.
During 2014, 57 of our employees volunteered
at Foodbank NSW & ACT in Wetherill
Park spending a day picking and packing
stock. Feedback from these volunteer days
is overwhelmingly positive. Our employees
appreciate the chance to make a contribution
to the community and leave Foodbank NSW &
ACT with a sense of gratitude and a feeling of
having done something very worthwhile.
Sanjana, Cerebos Australia Ltd
Last Thursday, an enthusiastic group of
community-minded Infosys employees helped
out for a day at Foodbank NSW & ACT, a notfor-profit org which delivers donated food and
groceries from the food industry to welfare
agencies who provide food assistance to those
in need.
Pictured above in their stylish hi-vis vests are
Abhishek Singh, Manish Ballal, Jeet Vikram
Minhas, Jaya Laxmi, Sinjith Ganesan, Gurcharan
Singh Jassal, Manish Aggarwal, Sam Zhang and
Senthil Kumar Radjendiran.
The induction session by the Foodbank NSW &
ACT staff helped in raising awareness about the
less fortunate section of our community that
struggles to make ends meet. The motivated
and enthusiastic team then took up the task
of picking and packing the food items and
completing the job efficiently.
The initiative made all of us appreciate the
efforts of Foodbank NSW & ACT in providing
food to those in need. Apart from making
a meaningful contribution, it also gave an
opportunity to meet new people and develop
new skills. The experience was fulfilling and
the team was happy to be a part of this cause
and do their bit. Jaya Laxmi summed up
the thoughts of the group, saying ‘It was an
amazing experience and I would love to be a
part of such initiatives’.
Jeet Vikram Minhas
Volunteering at the Foodbank NSW &ACT
was possibly the most worthwhile fulfilling
experience I have had in a long time. I was
encouraged to volunteer by my Employer,
Telstra, and initially I was reluctant, as work is
always busy.
After having spent the day at Foodbank, I have
totally turned around my way of thinking, I
now actively encourage my team to consider
volunteering. Foodbank NSW & ACT is an
amazing organization, and embraces all that
is good with our society, helping those less
fortunate, without discriminating, and without
looking for rewards and accolades.
I am now very proud to have been able to help,
by volunteering, although it was just 1 day.

ST VINCENT DE PAUL VINNIES VAN
Foodbank NSW & ACT has continued to donate
up to 70 loaves of fresh bread to the Vinnies
Van every week. This bread goes directly to
the Vinnies Van service, which assists people
experiencing or at risk of homelessness and
social isolation in Penrith and Parramatta.
Over 650 volunteers staff the service 364
nights a year. Each night, they use Foodbank
NSW & ACT donated bread to make about
65 sandwiches to give to our patrons. We
use nutritional ingredients to make delicious
sandwiches. Many of our patrons would
otherwise go hungry could we not provide such
food. As a not for profit organization, donations
such as this that come from Foodbank, ensure
programs like the Vinnies Van can continue to
serve those in need.

Economic “Benefit” of Foodbank NSW & ACT**
JESUIT SOCIAL SERVICES, EMERTON
Foodbank is one of our main suppliers of fruit,
vegetables and dry products. Foodbank has
helped us help many under privileged customers
who otherwise would be going without food.
Customer’s help themselves to good quality
fruit and vegetables and visit our Ignite Store on
a regular basis. Many customers leave the ignite
Food Store crying with gratitude, especially
those with young children. Without Foodbank
we would not be able to provide the service
we do to so many families in the Mount Druitt
area. Our customers range in all age groups but
mostly young families and the elderly.
We at the Ignite Food Store and the Holy Parish
Church are grateful for the assistance Foodbank
provide and hope to continue our strong
relationship for many years to come.

Fundraising Dinner
On Saturday, 6th September 2014 Foodbank
NSW & ACT held its 22nd Birthday and
Fundraising Dinner. It was a memorable evening
in the Playfair Room, Sydney Showground,
where one event in the year heralded the
presence of Foodbank NSW & ACT to the NSW
Business Community and NSW Government.
Whilst celebrating 22 years of service to the
Gerry Andersen, Josh Piterman, Gabrielle Upton
MP, Ern Pope, Lisa-Marie Parker & Simon Marnie
people of NSW and ACT, the event was a
success raising over $55,000 from the evening’s
table donations, raffles and auctions; with
100% of the proceeds going towards the new
Distribution Centre.
We believe it is totally unacceptable in
2014 that in one of the most advanced and
wealthiest countries in the World, over 20%
of people in Western Sydney alone are ‘food
insecure’. For decades to come, the Foodbank
5 Live Prize Laying chickens sold for $650
NSW & ACT Distribution Centre will cater to
the increased need for basic food by those who
are significantly disadvantaged.
Special thanks goes to the evenings Master
of Ceremonies, 702 ABC Sydney's Simon
Marnie; Guest of Honour, Minister for Family
& Community Services Gabrielle Upton MP;
Cassandra Kelly; Ovation Performances; the
Sydney Youth Jazz Band and the NSW Business
Community who supported the evening.

Foodbank NSW & ACT Annual Review 2014
During his visit, the Governor-General had the chance
to hear first-hand the issues regarding food insecurity
and the increasing hunger demand in Australia, along
with seeing how Foodbank NSW & ACT are able to
help disadvantaged Australians.
Chairman Ern Pope said that it was a great privilege
to have the Governor-General visit the distribution
centre in Western Sydney and appreciated his
enthusiastic support for the Foodbank organization.
Waste Not Want Not Across the Riverina
the Waste Not Want Not experience
continues to grow. Starting from an idea
discussed around a kitchen table in late
2010 now over 500 tonnes of produce is
supplied to Foodbank NSW/ACT annually
from the Riverina.
The range of produce is extensive and over
the last twelve months produce sent has
included carrots, garlic, grapefruit, lemons,
mandarins, onions, oranges, potatoes, pumpkins,
rockmelons, soybeans, cabbage, watermelon
and more.
All produce distributed is perfectly edible, but
for a range of reasons has no commercial
market. In some instances changes in the
export market provides surplus produce which
local farmers need to contend with but far and
away the greatest cause is ‘out of specification’
produce. Produce which due to size, shape,
surface blemishes etc mean that the major
supermarkets will not buy it creating vast
quantities of waste. This waste traditionally has
gone to land fill, cattle fodder or been ploughed
back into the ground but thanks to the initiative
of the people of Carrathool Shire, and now
the broader Riverina, this produce is providing
nutritious, tasty, fresh food to the many, many
people in need across NSW and the ACT.
The initiative continues to be recognised
for its merit and creativity and recently one
of the committee was invited to present a
paper at the national Australian Regional
Development Conference.
The Waste Not Want Not AGM was held in
July with Gerry and Pat Andersen as honoured
guests. John Sheridan was elected as President,
Jenny Sheridan, Secretary and John McKeon,
Treasurer for the coming year. Foodbank NSW/
ACT honoured Julie Greig, the Committee and
Carrathool Shire Council with the presentation
of plaques noting their respective roles in the
success of the Project.
Carrathool Shire’s Australia Day Ambassador for
2014 was Susie Elelman who was taken on a tour
of one of the participating farms by Lou Revelant,
Foodbank Produce Manager.

Kids Need Breakfast With their
developing brains and growing bodies,
kids really need a good breakfast
to fuel their body before each day.
Nutritionist, Dr Joanna McMillian, Premier Mike Baird, Foodbank NSW & ACT CEO Gerry Andersen and students from St Mary's Catholic School at the Big Breakfast in Martin Place
Sadly, not all kids have access to the most
important meal of the day. One in seven
children in Australia arrives in the classroom
each day without breakfast, having missed
out on the most important meal of the day.¹
According to early findings from Foodbank’s
Social Return on Investment Report, for every
kilogram of food provided there is the equivalent
of $110 of social value in terms of improved
physical health and school performance.²
Without breakfast, other studies have shown
that these kids are more likely to be absent from
school, show poorer results when they’re in
class, make unhealthy food choices throughout
the rest of the day, and be overweight.
One simple meal in the morning can
mean children of all ages are likely to
show an improvement in their performance,
concentration, energy, endurance,
and coordination.
It’s no surprise then that breakfast was
the number one requested food item by
those in need, according to Foodbank’s 2014
Hunger Report.
Recently, Foodbank NSW & ACT received a
$26K Clubs Australia grant for kick-starting
School Breakfast Programs in the Smithfield/
Fairfield LGA. This grant means that kids
who don’t normally start the day with
a meal will now have access to breakfast
— and the many benefits.
Goodman Fielder Baking supports Foodbank
via its ‘Daily Bread’ program. A regular supply
of bread is essential to welfare agencies
providing nutritious and filling meals. Since

Foodbank NSW & ACT Annual Review 2014
2006, Goodman Fielder Baking has provided
regular daily or weekly fresh bread donations
to the Foodbank warehouses across the country.
Goodman Fielder reviewed its program in 2011
and, in response to increased need, further
upped its donations. During the year the
increased availability of fresh sliced bread from
Goodman Fielder and George Western Foods
has resulted in bread delivery rising from 8000
to over 13,000 loaves per week.
Kellogg’s Australia, a Foodbank supporter,
also help children who don’t have access to
breakfast. Kellogg’s recently announced a
Breakfast for Better Days initiative, which
involves a committed 6 million serves of
cereal to kids and families in need, right across
Australia. This is in conjunction with a donation
to help Foodbank reach more children through
its School Breakfast Program.
Weet-Bix was also on the breakfast table for
many struggling Aussie families during winter
thanks to a chain of collaboration that stretches
right back to the wheat paddock. Foodbank
is currently distributing enough Weet-Bix to
provide 312,000 serves of the iconic breakfast
cereal to large and small food relief charities
around Australia. The Weet-Bix went to people
in need in prepared meals, food hampers
and emergency packs to provide a nutritious
and sustaining start to the day. The donated
product has been manufactured for Foodbank
by Sanitarium Health & Wellbeing, made from
grain donated by Australian farmers. The grain
came from a store collected by GrainCorp
and other grain handlers in a program that
encourages growers to do their bit to help
Dedicated Warehouse Volunteers
Our tireless workers are a testament
to the generosity of spirit of so many
Australians. There are a number of
people we couldn’t function without.
These volunteers give their time and
their smiles to ensure Foodbank is able to
reach as many people in need as possible.
reduce hunger in Australia. The donated grain
is augmented by the handlers themselves as
well as millers such as Weston Milling and
Manildra. The aim is to create an ongoing
supply of grains and flour which Foodbank can
draw down from to manufacture a variety of
key staples such as bread, pasta and breakfast
cereal. Sanitarium donated the additional
ingredients, manufacturing time and labour
to produce the Weet-Bix at their Berkeley
Vale factory, ANZPAC donated the Weet-Bix
packaging and Visy donated the cardboard
cartons for shipping. Finally, Linfox delivered the
donated Weet-Bix to the Foodbank warehouses.
Uncle Toby’s also received wheat under a similar
arrangement and they converted this into Vita
Brits that are very valuable to the Collaborative
Supply Food Program.
Foodbank thanks these wonderful organisations
for the ongoing support, donations and
contributions. The results from something as
simple and necessary as providing breakfast
for children, no matter what their financial
situation, will have a huge impact on their
health and education. And this, in turn, will
benefit society no end.
Recognising the need to provide more breakfast
foods to children and the 500 agencies we ran
The Big Breakfast campaign in October this
year. Through our use of collaborative supply
and wonderful donating Companies, Foodbank
NSW & ACT can provide a healthy breakfast for
just $0.40. The aim of the appeal was to raise an
additional 100,000 breakfast.
The campaign kicked off with a Big Breakfast
in Martin Place that was attended by the NSW
Premier, Mike Baird and Treasurer, Andrew
Constance. As well numerous businesses that
support Foodbank also held Big Breakfasts and
the appeal ran online for 3 weeks. The campaign
was wonderfully successful. The final number
of breakfasts raised was 137,500 meaning we
exceeded our target by 37,500 breakfasts, inturn
being able to provide more breakfast for children
& families suffering food insecurity.
Foodbank NSW & ACT would like to take
this opportunity to thank all the wonderful
volunteers who contributed during 2013- 2014.
In the year 2013-2014 Foodbank NSW supplied
500 member charities with food to help
over 100,386 families/singles every week (up
from 82,633 in 2012-2013) and provided an
estimated 6.8 million meals.
This is also shown through an increased greater
awareness of the important role volunteers play
at Foodbank NSW & ACT. We could only do
that with the Volunteer assistance given.
The difference between having such volunteers’
and no volunteers means the difference
between getting the food picked and packed
out of the warehouse to feed each week; being
distributed to those in need in country/ regional
and metro areas of NSW & ACT.
As most pallets weight approximately 250–300
kilos equating to between 330 to 400 meals
that will feed people less fortunate each week
and our volunteers pack this on a weekday basis.
There are a lot of families, singles and children
who directly benefit from this food being picked
and packed and delivered to them that was
only made possible with the assistance of these
wonderful volunteers who regularly attend the
Foodbank NSW & ACT warehouse.
As we are nearing the end of another busy year
we sincerely appreciate the contribution of the
volunteers in the community and over 100
corporate organisations whose employees assist
us on a regular basis. Please be assured it does
make a real difference in assisting those less
fortunate than ourselves in NSW & ACT.
