A food bank like no other
Because. All. We. Have. Is. Each. Other
Beneath the gloss of developed nations' prosperity lies a less visible, yet pervasive reality: poverty and inequality, quietly enduring in both vibrant urban centers and tranquil rural areas. These challenges are not distant issues; they affect our neighbors, friends, family members, and fellow citizens, often unnoticed amidst the daily rush.
In the United States alone, over 34 million people confront food insecurity, with one in ten households struggling to afford basic necessities. The situation is similarly dire in the UK, where 4.7 million people faced food insecurity in 2022. In Australia, estimates suggest that between 4% to 10% of the population is food insecure, though definitive data is lacking. New Zealand reports up to 10% of its population grappling with similar challenges. Meanwhile, in Canada, around 15% of the population, or about 5 million people, experience food insecurity.
These are not mere statistics; they represent individuals within our community, each facing daily challenges to access fundamental human needs. This stark reality is why I founded Equality Floss – to ensure that every individual, regardless of their circumstances, has access to the essentials for a dignified life. Our mission is to bridge the gap between abundance and necessity, reinforcing the belief that dignity, respect, and care are rights everyone deserves.
We'd love for you to get in touch, tell us your story, and clue us into the hurdles you're facing. At Equality Floss, we're on a mission to revolutionize the way we tackle food poverty – and you're at the very center of that mission.
We've taken a fresh approach, stepping away from the typical food bank model. Instead, we offer gift cards to major supermarkets like Tesco, Walmart, Coles, and more. This means you get to choose your own groceries and essentials, which we believe is key to honoring your personal preferences and needs.
2: we are reinventing the food bank in the digital age:
We're transforming the way help is given. Imagine having the power to choose – not just your meals, but also essentials like sanitary products, clothes, and even toys for your children.
Our supermarket gift cards offer this freedom, a choice far beyond what traditional food banks provide. This isn't just about food; it's about recognizing and respecting your unique needs and preferences, acknowledging that help should be as diverse and personal as the lives it touches.
3: valuing dignity, privacy, and choice:
At Equality Floss, we believe in the inherent dignity of every individual. Our approach is designed to sidestep the potential stigma that may come with traditional food banks. By providing gift cards, we give you the same shopping experience as any other customer, ensuring your privacy and autonomy: no more queues, no pre-packaged food parcels - just the freedom to choose what you need.
4: beyond traditional limits:
Our innovative model overcomes geographical restrictions that often limit traditional food banks. Whether you live in a city center or a remote rural area, our gift card approach ensures that help is always accessible, even in regions typically underserved by traditional food banks.
If you or someone you know could benefit from our services, please get in touch. At Equality Floss, we believe in equality and empowerment, and we're here to support you every step of the way.
Our support system stretches out across borders, how we help is simple.

Founding Equality Floss was more than a business decision; it was the realisation of a desire to make a tangible, meaningful difference. From filling empty stomachs to inspiring hope and driving change, my mission transcends the traditional confines of business.
It is a commitment to humanity, an exercise in compassion, and the belief that everyone deserves an equal shot at a better life. This journey we're on together isn't just about what we do. It's about who we are, and the positive change we aim to inspire, and I couldn't be prouder to lead the way.
Adversity into Adventure
Because. All. We. Have. Is. Each. Other
We recognise the hardship that many individuals face, and we’re committed to helping you weather the storm. If you find yourself in a situation where you need assistance, then please reach out to us. We promise that you'll be met with understanding, empathy, and a genuine desire to help.
However, as much as we wish we could extend our aid to all corners, our resources are, at present, limited so please be aware we may not be able to provide assistance straight away. Our ability to help is directly tied to the growth of our business. While we’re proud of the positive change we've been able to make so far, we know there are many more individuals out there in need of support.
This is where the real power of our business model comes into play. Each time a company chooses our recruitment services, each time a job seeker finds employment through us, and every canvas or drinks bottle we sell means we're able to expand our reach and help people like you.
It doesn't matter where you are on your journey; if you're facing hardship, we're here to listen and help where we can. No one should feel alone in their struggle, and we're committed to making sure you don't have to. You matter to us, and you're an integral part of the Equality Floss community.
Our mission is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves a fair chance at a better life, and as we grow, we promise that our capacity to help will grow too.
