Food Rescue
Started in late 2014, OzHarvest WA has grown quickly and is making a big impact delivering around 80,000 meals each week. Our Perth based team has seven yellow vans which collect over 110,000kgs of surplus food a month from local food donors across Perth and the Greater Metropolitan area.
In the wake of COVID-19, to keep up with demand of those experiencing food insecurity in the local community, OzHarvest WA launched two new programs: Hospitality Heroes and Hampers For Hope. Our Hospitality Heroes program creates cooked meals with our friends in the hospitality sector. Some of our Hospitality Heroes include Bread In Common, WA Parliament House and Crowne Plaza Perth. Our Hampers for Hope program creates and distributes food packages to communities in need.
Nourishing Our Schools Program
Our Nourishing Our Schools program tackles children’s food insecurity both in schools and at home. The program will provide school communities across Perth with Community Essentials Boxes which they can distribute to vulnerable families within the school community and School Essentials Boxes for outreach breakfast and lunch programs; and sports programs. Schools can register for both Schools and Community Essentials Boxes.
OzHarvest has been fortunate to receive incredible support and funding for our Nourishing Our Schools Program through the Channel 7 Telethon Trust.

OzHarvest WA has over 200 volunteers who share their skills, time, energy and hearts to boost the work we do.

Cooking for a Cause
OzHarvest’s Cooking for a Cause is a hands-on cooking class open to corporate groups. Led by our talented OzHarvest chefs, teams get busy in the kitchen transforming rescued ingredients into gourmet meals, which then get delivered to local charities.
Cooking for a Cause sessions run for approximately 2.5 hours, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Cost: $175 p/person – tax deductible.
FEAST
FEAST (Food Education and Sustainability Training) is a curriculum-aligned education program for primary and high schools, which explores the issue of food waste and its environmental impact, healthy eating and easy classroom cooking.
Like any good FEAST, it’s designed to be fun, engaging and filled with good food!
