Foodbank Victoria said they have had more than 400 volunteers help to sort and pack more than 3,000 food hampers for families affected by bush fires.
The Australia-wide fires have destroyed an estimated 2,000 homes and killed 25 people. It is estimated that half a billion animals have died in the wildfires.
Celebrities including Chris Hemsworth, Sir Elton John and Kylie Jenner have announced donations of one million US dollars (around £762,000) each to relief efforts while Nicole Kidman has donated 500,000 Australian dollars (about £262,000) to local fire services.
