Petstock Foundation raises $135,217 for Foodbank

No one should have to choose between feeding themselves or their pet. But when money is tight and food is scarce, some feel they have no choice but to give their pets up.

"'We know many families experiencing food insecurity face tough decisions between heating and eating. We have previously heard that parents skip meals to ensure their children can eat, and we now know this sacrifice extends to the family pet, who are much-loved family members."
Brianna Casey, CEO Foodbank Australia

That’s why, in August 2025, the Petstock Foundation raised funds to donate to Foodbank, Australia’s largest hunger relief charity, to help feed pets in need. Foodbank works with farmers, manufacturers and retailers to rescue surplus food and distribute it to frontline charities, programs and community groups across the country, making sure good food reaches those who need it most, when they need it most.

In total, it raised $135,217, providing 67,608 meals to pets and people in need.
