It's World Food Safety Day!

And who better to drop some kitchen wisdom than our very own Chef Valentina from OzHarvest WA!

This one's simple but SO important

"Keep hot food hot and cold food cold — and never leave food sitting in the danger zone between 5–60°C for more than 2 hours."
— Chef Valentina, OzHarvest WA
That temperature range is where bacteria love to party — and nobody wants that kind of guest at the table!
Whether you're cooking at home, prepping for a big family feast or working in a commercial kitchen — this rule saves food, and it keeps people safe.
At OzHarvest, food safety isn't just a tip — it's at the heart of everything we do. Every meal we rescue and deliver meets strict food safety standards, because everyone deserves food that is not only good — but safe.
Stay safe. Eat well. And thank you Chef Valentina for keeping it real in the kitchen!

John* relies on food relief because there is nothing left in his pantry.

“I ran out of food. I’m a pensioner and I’m limited by my means,” John says. “The hunger is there and when you’re on medication and not eating, it’s a bad idea.”

Food relief can be the difference between staying well and falling between the cracks. For John – and people like him – food relief is often a lifeline.

WORLD HUNGER DAY

Today, we take time to reflect on a crisis that's hitting closer to home than ever.

With the rising cost of living, more and more West Australians struggling to put food on the table. Families in our community are making impossible choices - between paying rent or buying groceries. Children are going to bed hungry.

This is our reality. And it's more important than ever that we feed our nation.

While we work to rescue food that would otherwise go to waste, the need in Western Australia is greater than it's ever been. Food insecurity isn't just a statistic - it's our neighbours, our friends, our community members facing real hardship.

We can't do this alone. 💚

This Giving Day, we're asking you to stand with us. Support those facing food insecurity in our community. Help us ensure no one goes hungry.

Reconciliation Week – "All In"
This week we celebrated National Reconciliation Week with our amazing volunteers — a time to reflect, learn, and strengthen relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Embracing this year’s theme, “All In,” we shared Kunkas Spiced Wattle Tea — a rich, earthy native blend that brought us together in connection and conversation. 🍃
Here’s to learning, sharing, and walking forward together. 🤝

Emily’s* mum is the only consistent earner in their household. Both her and her dad have diagnosed mental health conditions. Their budget is incredibly tight, and food is one of the first things to go.

When they found their way to OzHarvest, our help delivered hope.

"It makes me feel good," she told us. "It helps me socialise and get out of the house."

Food is the foundation. When people have it, everything else becomes possible. From now until Giving Day, Thursday 18 June, every dollar you donate is matched, helping to create hope for people in need.

Having a job used to mean having enough. For a growing number of Australians, that is no longer true.

31% of the people seeking food relief from the charities we support are employed and still finding there is nothing left after rent and bills. Food is the only flexible item in a budget that has no room to move.

Swipe to hear from working families doing it tough.

From now until Giving Day, Thursday 18 June, every dollar you donate is matched, so we can help feed more families in need.
