OzHarvest was founded in 2004 when Ronni Kahn wanted to make a significant contribution to society. Stunned by the amount of food wasted by the hospitality industry, she decided to do something about it.

Since its inception, OzHarvest has delivered more than 43 million meals to women, children and men in need while also having rescued over 14,000 tonnes of food from ending up as landfill and waste.
OzHarvest is the official Australian partner for the United Nation Environment Programme Think.Eat.Save - Reduce Your Foodprint campaign.
