About Us
Halal Food Bank Melbourne is a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers and relies heavily on community donations. Our mission is to provide halal, nutritionally sound food on a monthly basis to individuals and families experiencing financial hardship, domestic or family violence, crisis situations, as well as to refugees and people seeking asylum.
Designed by a local Australian artist, the Halal Food Bank logo represents the willing hands of two people clasping each other in solidarity and support for each other and others.
The colours are inspired by the Australian landscape and honours the traditional owners of the land, which so vividly paints the natural landscape – from the black barks, red desert and the golden beaches. They are a symbol of the local Australian landscape on which our diverse paths cross and meet as one human family.
