Designed for impact
This year, the food truck served a record number of people in need across 75 free community events. Thanks to support from the City of Sydney, we deepened our reach across the LGA and built new relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander led organisations. These free events deliver more than food, as thanks to our volunteers and chefs – people always feel a warm welcome.
“It’s not just about the food — it brings people together, creates connection, and gives people a bit of breathing space. We honestly couldn’t support as many people as we do without it.”

OzHarvest Catering services are available in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney, allowing us to deliver impact at both a local and national level. We offer bespoke packages, tailored to the unique capabilities, teams and produce of our state-based kitchens. This local approach enables us to work closely with clients and communities to deliver fresh, seasonal and flexible menus where every booking helps feed more people in need.
In the last year, a growing number of national partners have booked catering including: PwC · Wipro · Adelaide Fringe Festival · Lendlease · SAHMRI · Vivcourt Trading · UNSW · Sydney Environment Institute · Bloomberg · BNP Paribas · Woolworths · Suncorp
In Sydney, we opened a new events space at our Alexandria Warehouse wrapped in yellow and featuring a 12-metre installation of our chosen Indigenous artwork by Yupiya Lionel which forms part of our Reconciliation Action Plan. The space has hosted private dinners, partner events, conferences and dining options to our Cooking for a Cause program in Sydney.
Special Thanks
Welcome on wheels.
For 20 years, the Glebe Treehouse NAIDOC celebration was already a strong community event. Then the OzHarvest Food Truck arrived.
What changed wasn’t the turnout, but the way food moved through the celebration. Our chef stepped down from the truck and carried hot meals on trays directly to Indigenous elders. A simple act of care, grounded in respect and cultural understanding.
Food has always been central to connection and culture. Serving nourishing meals in this way honoured that truth – recognising food not as a privilege, but as a shared right, and hospitality as an expression of belonging.
This is what the OzHarvest Food Truck Program brings to community celebrations like NAIDOC: good food, served with warmth and dignity, meeting people where they are and adding to moments that already matter.
