Christmas Food Drive

OzHarvest Christmas Food Drive

The weeks leading up to Christmas are exceptionally busy for our fleet. We need to prioritise the collection of increased volumes of fresh food to minimise food waste.

If you're able to drop off your non-perishable goods to our office locations, we'd love to see you! If not, then let's see if we can reach you with one of our yellow vans.

FAQs

What food can OzHarvest collect?

Non-perishable food like pasta, rice, canned fruits, vegetables and tuna, tinned or jarred sauces and casseroles, biscuits, tea and coffee, cereals, muesli bars
Ring pull cans are preferred over can-opener style packaging

What items cannot be donated?

No products containing alcohol, even at trace amounts. That means no wine, wine vinegars, traditional Christmas puddings.
No longlife items that are more than 30 days past Best Before.

How do you pack up your food drive?

Use strong boxes that have plenty of packing tape on them.
All food to be boxed up – do not use bags, even if they are reusable shopping bags, as these cannot be stacked in our van and may roll around and break in transit.
Packed boxes to weigh no more than 10kg, even if this means you have to pack a few more boxes, as this will help keep your team, our drivers and volunteers safe when moving the food drive items around.
Your help in making sure your Food Drive is ready for a speedy collection by our big yellow van greatly helps us in squeezing our many jobs in at this busy time!
