VOLUNTEERING
Last year alone, 32,000 tons of food went to landfill in NSW, which amounts to 63.8 million meals wasted each year. If you’re passionate about reducing food waste and want to make a real impact in our community, we’d love for you to join our team of dedicated FoodAid volunteers. Together, we can help divert food from landfills and get it to those in need.
