Join the World Food Day Effort with OzHarvest
As World Food Day 2024 approaches on 16 October, it’s the perfect moment to focus on combating hunger and reducing food waste. You can make a significant difference in Australia by supporting OzHarvest through Australian Fundraising’s Care For A Cause initiative.
OzHarvest is revolutionising food rescue. They are the champions who prevent surplus food from ending up in the trash, ensuring it reaches those in need. This approach benefits both the environment and our communities, cutting down on waste while providing more nourishment to families.
Now, let’s talk about the incredible impact you’ve already made. Thanks to your support this year, OzHarvest has provided over 41,000 meals to those in need as of today. That’s right – your generosity has turned potential waste into wonderful, nourishing meals for thousands! But remember, there’s still Term 4 to go.
Your donation through our Care For A Cause initiative does more than you might realise. Every time you choose OzHarvest to donate your fundraising incentive to, you empower them to rescue more food and feed more people.
“We see a wide demographic of people who come to us. Among them are families, and many individuals who have jobs and homes, but find themselves struggling to make ends meet due to the current rising cost of living.” – Ron, Helping Hands Victoria
Ready to be part of the food rescue revolution this World Food Day? When you do a Fun Run or Glowtastic Disco Party fundraiser, by choosing the Care For A Cause or Traditional Prize option your family can choose to donate to OzHarvest instead of receiving incentive prizes. Every contribution helps, no matter how small. Spread the word about OzHarvest like it’s butter on toast. Share this blog, tell your friends, or explore volunteering opportunities. There are countless ways to support this vital cause and make a difference in our communities.
We are so grateful for the incredible support shown to us by Australian Fundraising and its school community. The overwhelming feedback from our charities is that this is the toughest they have ever seen it. Everyday people are having to make choices between paying the rent or buying groceries, as they can’t afford both. Its support like yours that keeps our wheels turning, and delivering meals to those who need them most!
Lisa Dainty, National Partnership Manager, OzHarvest
Remember, hunger doesn’t take a break after World Food Day. It’s a year-round challenge that requires year-round heroes like you. Consider starting your own food waste reduction challenge at home or setting up a monthly donation to OzHarvest. Small actions can lead to significant changes when we all work together.
We all envision a future where no good food goes to waste, and no one goes hungry. With your help, we can turn this vision into reality. Every meal we save, and share brings us closer to that goal.
So, this World Food Day, let’s roll up our sleeves and tackle hunger together! Your support for OzHarvest through our Care For A Cause initiative can change lives. It is amazing what we can do when we work as a team. As the saying goes, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
