OzHarvest Sydney

OzHarvest is Australias leading food rescue organisation that collects quality excess food from more than 3,000 commercial outlets and delivers it, direct and free of charge, to more than 1,300 charities. We provide much needed assistance to vulnerable people across Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Newcastle and Perth as well as regional areas. OzHarvest was founded in November 2004 by Ronni Kahn AO, and has now delivered over 150 million meals- diverting over 50,000 tonnes of good food from landfill. OzHarvest has four pillars that direct the work that we do: Rescue - We are on a mission to eliminate hunger and food waste through the redistribution of quality surplus food. Likewise, to provide a framework for food rescue that can be replicated. Educate - Educating and raising awareness about food waste, food rescue, food security and sustainability is central to our vision. Protecting and improving the environment through all our actions matters deeply to us. Promoting nutrition education is paramount. Providing hospitality training and mentoring for disadvantaged youth drives us onwards and upwards, together. Engage - Embracing community support for OzHarvest lies at the heart of our purpose. We offer a range of opportunities for the community to engage with our family. In turn, the goodness spreads through our family, adding purpose to peoples' lives through meaningful action. Innovate - Innovation is at the heart of what we do. Whether its finding new ways and solutions to combat food waste and hunger, to using technology to mobilise everyday Australians to take meaningful action. We pride ourselves on having created a unique for-impact, food rescue model which is being implemented and adapted across the globe.
