OzHarvest | Rescuing Food for Charity

OzHarvest collects excess food and delivers it, free of charge, to organizations that feed disadvantaged men, women and children in our community.

Every day in our city, thousands of kilos of high-quality, nutritious food is thrown away, while elsewhere people go hungry.

The delivery of food by OzHarvest enables recipient charities to redirect funds originally budgeted for food to other programs such as education, training and rehabilitation.

OzHarvest is the missing link between the excess food and those who are hungry.
