OzHarvest Australia

Founded by Ronni Kahn AO in 2004 after noticing the huge volume of food going to waste, OzHarvest quickly grew to become Australia’s leading food rescue organisation. Food is at their core, saving surplus food from ending up in landfill and delivering it to charities that help feed people in need. OzHarvest is committed to halving food waste by 2030, inspiring and influencing others to do the same, and transforming lives through education.
