Each year, food waste costs Australia $20 billion, while five million people experience food insecurity. OzHarvest is committed to rescuing and redistributing this food to those who need it most, especially during times of increased need.
MCEC is aligning with OzHarvest to increase sustainability in the food waste sector and help them advocate, inspire and influence others to halve food waste by 2030.
MCEC will be donating resources and service provision, ongoing food donations, workplace giving, fundraising and advocacy programs as well as contributing commercial kitchen space to OzHarvest, to trial their ‘Çooking for a Cause’ program for three days a week.
Bernardo Tobias, OzHarvest State Manager, Victoria said the unwavering support from MCEC has helped feed more people in need during these challenging times.
“Thanks to our wonderful partnership with MCEC, OzHarvest has delivered close to 75,000 meals to the most vulnerable in our community in this time of increased need.”
“We are also thrilled to be able to host our corporate engagement program ‘Çooking for a cause’ at the MCEC kitchens. There’s no better way to get involved with cause than by joining OzHarvest chefs to learn zero-waste cooking skills, while transforming rescued ingredients into hundreds of gourmet meals, ready for distribution to vulnerable communities.”
