Would you like to
- be a champion of the underprivileged in your community?
- reduce your impact on the environment
- reduce your waste disposal expenses
By donating your excess food to OzHarvest you can achieve all these goals.
Recent amendments to the Civil Law (Wrongs Act 2002) were passed in the ACT Legislative Assembly and offer increased protection for food donors. We are pleased to announce these changes have led to more top quality food donations every week.
Under the legislation a donor is exempt from liability from a negligence claim if:
- the food is donated in good faith for charitable or benevolent purposes;
- it is not intended that the consumer of the food will have to pay for it; and
- the food was fit for human consumption when it left the possession or control of the donor.
Function Catering?
If you are having a function and would like to donate “unexpected left overs” please ring us to arrange collection.
In order to provide safe food items to our clients, we can only accept food from professionally catered events and licensed food caterers.
If you are an organisation that would like to receive food to supplement the meals you serve please contact us or fill in our on-line form.
OzHarvest Canberra has an active volunteer program where you can get involved by assisting with the collection and delivery of food. This would involve working with one of our team in the OzHarvest Van. Contact us on 6288 0709 to find out more.
