Food Rescue
Established in 2013, OzHarvest Gold Coast now delivers more than 25,000 meals a week to people in need across the Gold Coast, hinterland and down to the northern NSW coast including the Tweed region. Our four yellow food rescue vehicles are on the road Monday to Friday, with additional weekend work to support food rescue at local farmer’s markets.
Food Relief during COVID-19
To meet the rise in demand for food relief due to COVID-19, the Gold Coast team introduced two new initiatives, Food Hampers and Cooked Meals. Over 1,500 hampers were created and distributed from August-October, getting much-needed food to communities in need. With the help of ‘hospitality heroes’ Tweed Heads Bowls Club and Paradox Coffee Roaster more than 3,000 meals were cooked and delivered! An additional seven new charities are being supported throughout the region.
Volunteer
Our yellow army is made up of approximately 100 volunteers on the Gold Coast, contributing over 3,500 hours per year! Volunteer activities include (but are not limited to): assisting our drivers with food rescue in our yellow vans; rescuing food from Sunday Farmers Markets; gardening and education support at a local school; helping out with community events and Cooking for a Cause corporate classes; and other education roles. The majority of our shifts occur Monday through Friday during business hours and are based out of our Molendinar warehouse, Surfers Paradise kitchen, or market garden at Currumbin.

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.
