Remember, just 50c allows OzHarvest to provide a meal to someone in need this Christmas. To find out more, head to www.woolworths.com.au/community
23.01.2022 Thank you to our amazing Yellow Army who on Sunday proved that EVERY KILO COUNTS! We rescued 455kg of beautiful food from Rusty's Markets. That's 93 meals more than last week. Just the simple act of asking a question - would you like to donate food to OzHarvest? - has enormous and immediate benefits to our Cairns community. Thank you to our volunteers and thank you to our community supporters. Let's keep asking questions and keep empowering our business friends to make posi...tive decisions that nourish People and Planet! #HereForHope #FeedTheForgotten #FoodRescue #FoodRelief #FarNorthQueensland #OzHarvestCairns
21.01.2022 "People and Planet is all we have, and the connection between them has got to be to value both and until we value the food we grow and how we look after our planet, our lives will be fundamentally impacted." Did you spot our CEO and Founder, the amazing Ronni Kahn, on ABC's 7.30 program last night? https://www.abc.net.au//ronni-kahn-looks-back-on-/12700434
19.01.2022 THANK YOU to our amazing Yellow Army of volunteers who pitched in at Rusty's Markets, rescuing an awesome 368kg of fresh and nutritious fruit and veg!

18.01.2022 PSA: Our Cairns food rescue vehicle is taking a well-earned break on Monday 5th October for the Queen's Birthday public holiday. We will be back on the road delivering goodness on Tuesday 6th October.
17.01.2022 During the Covid period and in response to the dramatic rise in demand for food relief, OzHarvest has rallied our teams across the country. In this time, nearly 6.5 million kilos of food has been diverted from landfill through our food rescue operations, which equates to more than 22 million meals delivered to the charities we regularly support. A massive THANK YOU goes out to all of our supporters and partners who have made this possible. If you'd like to find out more about our impact during Covid, head to www.ozharvest.org/news/our-impact-during-covid-19/

15.01.2022 Bravo to our Yellow Army who had another big Sunday at Rusty's Markets, rescuing 424kg of nourishing, comforting fruit and veg! We are delivering between 5,000 and 8,000 meals a week to more than 30 charities in Cairns, but we can only achieve this with the support of commercial food donors and businesses. Thank you to everyone who is asking at market stalls, restaurants, cafes and farm gates, "Do you donate your excess food to OzHarvest?"... Let's keep this energy strong, nourish our neighbours doing it tough, and protect our beautiful planet from food waste! #HereForHope #FeedTheForgotten #FoodRescue #FoodRelief #FarNorthQueensland #OzHarvestCairns

14.01.2022 OzHarvest Chef Sarah has Father's Day breakfast all planned out, ready to spoil Dad and fight food waste! This recipe is a terrific way to use up stale bread and squishy berries or other fruit hiding in your fridge or freezer. *Father's Day French Toast* ... 6 - 10 slices stale and sliced sourdough bread 6 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk (half cream/ half milk is great as well) 1 teaspoon cinnamon Pinch of nutmeg (optional) 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Pinch salt 2 tablespoons butter Chopped nuts or seeds odds and ends to top (optional) Mix all ingredients except bread in large baking dish. Add bread slices and let soak about 10 minutes on each side. Add butter to frypan and heat to medium. Add soaked bread slices and cook until golden brown, flip and cook until golden brown. CHEF's TIP: Heat oven to 150C and place a wire rack over a baking tray. Transfer cooked slices of French toast to rack and place in oven to keep warm if cooking in batches. Syrup: Blueberries, blackberries or mixed frozen berries 1 tbspn Maple Syrup To make Fruity Maple Syrup, add berries and maple syrup to a small pot or frypan and bring to a gentle simmer to soften fruit slightly. Serve warm syrup over French toast. Some favourite fruit variations instead of Fruity Maple Syrup include: Caramelised brown bananas in honey and butter Fresh sliced oranges and coconut yoghurt Happy cooking, and even happier eating!
13.01.2022 We haven't met a chef yet who doesn't profoundly understand the precious nature of food, so hotels and restaurants tend to generate less food waste than people might initially think. We are particularly grateful to hospitality businesses like Pacific Hotel Cairns and Bushfire Flame Grill Restaurant Cairns who have carefully directed their small amount of quality, excess food to OzHarvest to feed people in need. Thanks to Tim, Rhys, Nathan and the Pacific Hotel kitchen team,... we've been able to rescue more than 2,000 sandwiches and meals in the last two years. We know that this year has been extremely challenging for hospitality and tourism, and we are inspired by businesses that continue to think of others as we walk through 2020 together. #OzHarvestCairns #CairnsOneMillionMeals #FarNorthQueensland #FNQBusiness #FightFoodWaste #HereForHope #FeedTheForgotten
12.01.2022 Today we are celebrating our awesome volunteer, Karen! "I was looking for local volunteer work that was flexible around work, and ticked the boxes with my interests in the environment and food; so what better than to work for a charity with a goal of reducing food waste! It's been a real eye opener to see how much good quality, nourishing, food is diverted from landfill and distributed to the community. Also, lucky for me, it's just a nice bunch of people to spend Sunday afternoon with". Thank you, Karen, for your ongoing support, inspiring sentiments and, of course, your mad skills at posing with stunning rescued produce!
11.01.2022 This morning we are sharing the love for our awesome vollie Cameron who has rescued and loaded into our van tens of thousands of meals over the years he's been volunteering with OzHarvest Cairns. Cam recently shared about his experience : "What I like about OzHarvest is the uniqueness of how we serve the community; rescuing quality food! What an awesome way to connect with and serve others in the community. It's not just about rescuing food, it's also about making connection...s and friendships within your community too." Thank you, Cam, for your dedication, hard work and your powerful sense of community! #OzHarvestCairns #FightFoodWaste #FoodResce #FoodRelief
11.01.2022 Father's Day is quickly approaching! This year, say "I love you Dad" with an OzHarvest virtual card and provide meals to people in need at the same time.

11.01.2022 Today we want to say thank you to the amazing Anne O, a passionate food waste fighter and a whiz at identifying unusual fruits and veggies! The thing I find most satisfying about helping wiis knowing that food that would otherwise be wasted is being used to help others who are in need. Really fits with my principle of trying to reduce waste and redirect resources that still have a use. I also really enjoy meeting other volunteers and learning about some of the weird and won...derful produce which finds its way to Rusty's Markets." Thank you, Anne, for being part of our #YellowArmy!
11.01.2022 Looking fresh, Laurent! Thank you to Yum Yums Mossman for this glorious banana donation (and lots of other delicious and nutritious goodies) that we delivered to our charity friends in Mossman, Mareeba and Port Douglas. The community spirit is strong in our little corner of the planet ... #HereForHope #TropicalNorthQueensland
10.01.2022 We recently expanded our run to include Mossman and Port Douglas, welcoming Mareeba State High School, Mossman Youth Centre, Mossman Community Centre incl The Men's Shed and Port Douglas Neighbourhood Centre into our growing network of receiving charities and agencies. Some may assume no one is doing it tough because it’s viewed as a wealthy area, but that’s just not true. Some charities we deliver to are supporting 100 people a week international students, pensioners, fam...ilies. So many people are experiencing food insecurity. Every $1 donated to OzHarvest means we can deliver 2 meals to someone in need. To make a donation to help fund our Cairns work, please call us on 07 3708 1380 and let the team know you're a Cairns local! #OzHarvestCairns #LocalsSupportingLocals #OneDollarEqualsTwoMeals #FNQ

Businesses are encouraged to donate once a week, once a month or once in a blue moon - it all adds up to big things!
