Staff at Westvic Staffing Solutions decided to forgo their work Christmas party and instead donate $3000 to the charity.
Chief executive officer Dean Luciani said they had long admired the work that Foodshare did and they recognised it had been a long and difficult year for many.
The support comes as Foodshare prepares to provide about 200 special hampers in the lead up to Christmas.
The hampers will include a calico bag filled with Christmas treats and fare.
Listen to the latest episode of our weekly episode The Booletin and Beyond:
Warrnambool and District Foodshare executive officer Dedy Friebe said Christmas donations were needed from the community to provide the festive cheer.
"We know that there is a great Christmas spirit in Warrnambool and we just want to cheer up people that might need a bit of help at this time of year," he said.
