Scenario

OzHarvest delivers fresh, nourishing food for free to more than 500 charitable organisations across Australia.These charitable and welfare agencies include homeless shelters, women's and men's refuges, youth groups, indigenous centres, organisations that service people with alcohol or drug addictions, mental health issues, people with disabilities and the elderly.

OzHarvest is Australia's leading food rescue organisation, collecting quality excess food from commercial outlets and delivering it directly to more than 1300 charities supporting people in need across the country.

Founded in 2004 by Ronni Kahn, after noticing the huge volume of good food going to waste from the hospitality industry, she decided there had to be a better way. Starting in Sydney with one van - the first of many donations from Goodman+ Foundation - she delivered 4,000 meals in the first month.

OzHarvest now operates nationally, rescuing over 180 tonnes of food each week from over 3,500 food donors including supermarkets, hotels, airports, wholesalers, farmers, corporate events, catering companies, shopping centres, delis, cafes, restaurants, film and TV shoots and boardrooms.

Education is crucial to their business to help enable positive change for vulnerable people.
