Food Access
Ballarat offers a wide range of food relief services to support individuals and families experiencing financial hardship and food insecurity.
From emergency food parcels and hot meals to low-cost groceries and community lunches, local organisations such as the Salvation Army, Uniting Ballarat, Anglicare, St Vincent de Paul, and Ballarat Neighbourhood Centre provide essential assistance across the region.
The Ballarat Community Food Centre, operated by Foodbank Victoria, further strengthens this support network by distributing fresh and healthy food to local agencies, offering food education programs, and running a community supermarket for students and residents in need.
Together, these services ensure that no one in Ballarat goes hungry and that everyone has access to nutritious food and compassionate care.
