An incredible team of over 1,000 volunteers in Sydney work tirelessly, helping to serve customers at our OzHarvest Market Waterloo and Refettorio, help out in our kitchens, assist our drivers with food rescue, help with community events and Cooking for a Cause corporate classes, assist with practical session delivery of our NEST, Nourish and FEAST education programs and generally provide much-needed support for everything we do!

Most of our volunteering opportunities are based at either our Alexandria warehouse and kitchen, our Waterloo Market, or our Refettorio in Surry Hills. Shifts are generally Monday to Friday during business hours, however we do have limited regular weekend shifts and occasional out of hours shifts at community festivals and events.

The OzHarvest Food Truck brings zero-waste inspired, restaurant-quality, locally sourced catering to venues in and around Sydney. Each paid event allows the OzHarvest Food Truck to deliver a nourishing lunch, free of charge, to a charity or a community supporting vulnerable Australians.

The Food Truck will be available for events from 1st January 2022. Our Food Truck team is busy servicing our charity agencies to ensure we can rise to the challenge of the food relief need during COVID-19.

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.

In OzHarvest Sydney, we are able to accommodate small to medium sized groups for morning sessions (start 9am) and afternoon sessions (starts 1pm) on:

Group size on Thursdays (max 21pax over two kitchen spaces – 12pax in one kitchen and 9pax in the other kitchen)

Group size on Fridays (max 9pax over one kitchen space) for morning and afternoon sessions.

Cost: $175 p/person – tax deductible.

Our NEST program is an easy and fun way to learn healthy eating habits and how to cook simple and low-cost meals in just six weeks. Each NEST session is held at the same day and time each week for 2.5 hours. It includes fun interactive activities, practical cooking classes, and the sharing of a meal together.

OzHarvest NEST is aligned with the Australian Dietary Guidelines and works with everyone to set realistic goals around healthy eating, which are reviewed and revised each week, so real and lasting change can be made.
