About OzHarvest:

OzHarvest is a leading food rescue organisation on a mission to 'Nourish our Country' by stopping good food from going to waste and delivering it to charities that help feed people in need. Through our education programs and our advocacy work, we hope to inspire others to change behaviour and help reach the national target of halving food waste by 2030.

We are on the look-out for a confident and friendly driver that is passionate about the community and sustainability, to help OzHarvest on a part time basis (Wednesdays & Thursdays).
