Our Impact in 2025
2025 was OzHarvest’s 21st year! It was a year of growth across all areas of the organisation. We rescued food at record levels, launched programs in new communities, amplified our message and told our story to the whole country. There were so many milestone moments, with magnificent people helping us create impact in everything we do.
The numbers show our reach and scale, but the report shares the stories and people behind every one of them – our drivers, our volunteers, our donors, our partners, our staff and our supporters. Thank you to everyone who is part of our journey.

A year bursting with pride, love, connection and yellow!
OzHarvest has always been a magnet for magnificent people and 2025 proved it beyond all doubt. From our drivers out in communities every day, to our volunteers helping in everything we do, our teams across the country and of course, our network of partners, the charities we support and every extraordinary person who connected with our cause.

Our Chair
Building the organisation that the mission deserves.
As Chair of OzHarvest, I’ve seen food insecurity in Australia increasing over the years. It’s clear that this is not a temporary problem, it is structural. And the organisations working to address it need to be built for the long haul, with the governance, leadership and financial foundations to match the scale of what’s needed.

Where we are, what we’re doing and why it matters.
Our numbers tell a strong story of growth this year with our food rescue operations peaking at over 400 tonnes a week. We’ve invested in new food rescue hubs in Wetherill Park in NSW and Hallam in Victoria to reach more charities in need of food. Our first operations in Launceston, Tasmania has expanded our national reach and deepened our impact.

Behind every rescued meal, every student who learned to cook, every family who left our markets with dignity and a full bag – is a partner who believed in what we’re doing. This is your impact too and we are profoundly grateful.

None of what we do is possible without our incredible family of supporters who support our mission in many remarkable ways.
To the chef legends who gave their time and talent at CEO CookOff and the CEOs and business leaders who chopped, stirred and served with heart, to raise more than $1.5 million, which enabled us to deliver 3 million additional meals to people in need.
