Continuing with the “food for the ones in need” theme, our Melbourne and Sydney teams joined forces and participated in the “OzHarvest – Cooking for a Cause” CSR event on 14 December 2023.

OzHarvest is Australia’s leading food rescue organisation saving surplus food from ending up in landfill. Good quality surplus food is collected from a network of donors including supermarkets, cafes, delis, hotels, airlines and restaurants, then delivered direct and free of charge to charities nationally.

“Cooking for a cause” is also a unique team building activity. We were hosted by our chef, a master of zero-waste cooking, in an industrial kitchen. From learning how to chop an onion properly to cooking root to stem, we were inspired by this cooking session full of practical tips and tricks for us to apply at home. After creating over 150 delicious and nutritious meals, we packed the food ready for OzHarvest to deliver to local charities.

This was a very educational and rewarding experience for all of us.
