The 2016 All Purpose Transport, Retail First and Quest Newspapers annual Foodbank Campaign commences on Monday 3 October 2016. With donation cages located within 19 Retail First shopping centres across South East Qld until 6 January 2017, our aim to raise at least 40 tonnes of donations for Foodbank. All Purpose Transport will again donate our transport services to collect the food donations across South East Qld and deliver them into Foodbank. Contributions towards this campaign would be greatly appreciated. If you have a large donation, we can also pick up from your organization and deliver directly to Foodbank.
