From Monday 18 November, Metro will be collecting donations of non-perishable foods and hygiene products at our depots and Metro Shops statewide. They will then be delivered to Foodbank, to support those in need.
This Christmas, we’re reaching out to our wonderful community to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. We’re excited to announce our partnership with Foodbank Tasmania for their annual Food Drive, and we invite you to be a part of this heartwarming initiative!
Foodbank is Australia’s largest food relief organisation, operating on a scale that makes it crucial to the work of the front-line charities who are feeding vulnerable Australians. Foodbank provides more than 70% of the food rescued for food relief organisations nation-wide.
How You Can Help:
We’ve set up donation boxes at each of our depots and in our Metro Shops. Feel free to contribute non-perishable foods and hygiene products – every item donated directly helps someone in need.
You can view Foodbank’s donation guidelines here.
(Please ensure that any products you donate are unopened, within their expiry date and includes the ingredient/allergen information)

We’ll be collecting donations at the following locations until Friday, 6 December:
Please Note: While we appreciate the generosity of our bus passengers, we kindly remind you that items cannot be collected on board. If you’re on a bus and wish to contribute, please visit the nearest Metro Shop or depot.
