33,504 Meals Given to OzHarvest!
We are thrilled to share the fantastic news! Over semester 1 of 2024, schools and groups that have chosen the Care For A Cause prize option have donated 33,504 meals to OzHarvest. This impressive achievement showcases the combined efforts of our community can make a significant difference in the lives of those in need.
The 33,504 meals will support individuals and families in need across Australia. This is a substantial contribution to combating hunger and ensuring that more people have access to good food.
This also meant that 16,752kgs of food was diverted from landfill. By rescuing good food and redistributing it, we are not only feeding those in need but also preventing 16,752kgs of good food from ending up in landfill.
As a result of the above, 16,752kgs of greenhouse gas emissions will also be avoided by food breaking down in landfill. This contributes to our ongoing efforts to combat climate change and protect our planet.
“We are so grateful to Australian Fundraising and all of the schools that have chosen to support our cause! The cost-of-living crisis has seen a record numbers of people and families turn towards food relief, many for the first time, and your donation makes a huge difference.” says Lisa Dainty, National Partnerships Manager, OzHarvest
We are immensely grateful for the support of the schools, groups and our community. Your generosity and commitment are the driving forces.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with OzHarvest. Together, we are making a tangible difference in the lives of many and contributing to a more sustainable world. Here’s to more incredible achievements in the future!
