Now in our 50th year, we’re celebrating 5 Decades of Exceptional Outcomes for our people, clients and community.
For our community, we’re proud to feature some of the charities and organisations that we’ve formed strong partnerships with over the years, to explore the history and value of these relationships to HopgoodGanim, and to highlight the incredible work they are doing to assist their community.
Foodbank is the largest not-for-profit hunger relief charity in Australia, and the only Australian food relief organisation that is a certified member of The Global Foodbanking Network.
In the last 12 months, 3.4 million households in Australia struggled to put food on their table and it is Foodbank’s mission to change that. In 2023, Foodbank sourced the equivalent of 92 million meals for 2,929 charity partners and 3,220 school breakfast programs across the country.
Operating in every state and territory in Australia, Foodbank work with the entire food and grocery industry including farmers, wholesalers, manufacturers and retailers to source food and capture donations to help everyday Australians who are going without.
To help source and distribute the food, their teams rely on the generosity of individuals, businesses, community organisations, schools and all levels of government, as well as an army of volunteers who pick, pack and deliver the food to where it’s needed.
HopgoodGanim Lawyers have been long-term corporate partners of Foodbank for more than 20 years, providing both financial support through annual donations, as well as staff volunteering.
Throughout our history, the HopgoodGanim team have regularly volunteered at the local Foodbank community kitchens and warehouses in Brisbane, helping prepare pre-packaged meals in addition to packing and sorting food to be distributed to Foodbank’s agency partners.
“HopgoodGanim has built a strong connection with Foodbank and its mission over many years. As a firm we are deeply moved by their dedication to fighting hunger and we are proud to support and participate in their programs across the country,” said Robyn Ferguson, Partner at HopgoodGanim Lawyers.
In 2018, we expanded our support for Foodbank to include their Perth branch, with team members from HopgoodGanim volunteering each year to help prepare Christmas hampers for those in need, as well as wrap gifts for the local community.
Volunteering with our local Foodbank branch has been a worthy experience. Seeing firsthand the impact we can have on individuals' lives through something as simple as a meal is a powerful reminder of why this work is so important."
"By providing access to healthy meals, Foodbank aren’t just feeding individuals – they’re fostering hope and changing lives."
HopgoodGanim is proud to have partnered with Foodbank for over two decades. Their dedication to reducing hunger and the substantial impact they’ve made in the community is truly exceptional.
