Since Inception OzHarvest has achieved some great milestones:

• Over 109 million meals delivered
• Over 37,000 tonnes of food rescued
• Over 1300 charities helped
• $1 = 2 meals to those in need

Led and mentored by the inspirational Ronni Kahn, we are a passionate family who are driven by the purpose and the desire to bring the OzHarvest effect to life every day.
