Food Rescue
OzHarvest Canberra started rescuing food in 2008. With two yellow vans, the team rescues over 7,000 kgs of surplus food, delivering nearly 22,000 meals every week to people in need throughout the region.
Volunteers
An incredible team of volunteers in Canberra work tirelessly, helping OzHarvest to reach more people in our community by assisting our food rescue drivers with food rescue, helping at community events, assisting with practical session delivery of our NEST and FEAST education programs and providing much-needed general support for everything we do!
Most of our volunteering opportunities are based from our Fairbarn warehouse. Shifts are generally Monday to Friday during business hours, however we do have limited weekend food rescue shifts, and occasional shifts on weekends and weeknights at community events and festivals.

NEST
Our NEST program is an easy and fun way to learn healthy eating habits and how to cook simple and low-cost meals in just six weeks. Each NEST session is held at the same day and time each week for 2.5 hours. It includes fun interactive activities, practical cooking classes, and the sharing of a meal together.
OzHarvest NEST is aligned with the Australian Dietary Guidelines and works with everyone to set realistic goals around healthy eating, which are reviewed and revised each week, so real and lasting change can be made.
FEAST
FEAST (Food Education and Sustainability Training) is a curriculum aligned program aimed at year 5 and 6 students. FEAST runs for 7-10 weeks and is a STEM project-based learning program focusing on food and sustainability. The teacher-led program can be adapted and changed to suit your school’s needs.
Like any good FEAST, it’s designed to be fun, engaging and filled with good food.
