Our greatest ingredients!
None of what we do is possible without our incredible family of supporters who support our mission in many remarkable ways.
To the chef legends who gave their time and talent at CEO CookOff and the CEOs and business leaders who chopped, stirred and served with heart, to raise more than $1.5 million, which enabled us to deliver 3 million additional meals to people in need.
To the ABC Gives team of presenters, producers and listeners across the country, who turned airwaves into action. Your generosity rippled far beyond the studio.
To the organisations who wove giving into the fabric of their work, through workplace giving, fundraising campaigns, percentage-of-sales partnerships and invaluable in-kind support. We are so grateful for all the businesses that choose us to create a powerful force for good.
To the communities who laced up their runners, fired up their ovens and rallied their neighbours, every marathon run and bake sale held was a reminder that change starts local.
And to every individual who gave – your contribution moved us deeply. To the philanthropists who stepped up with matched funding on our Giving Day appeal, amplifying every dollar donated. To the public who responded to our call. To our faithful regular givers, whose steady commitment means we can plan, grow and reach further. And to those who have remembered OzHarvest in their bequest, a final, profound act of generosity that will nourish people for years to come. No matter how you give, every dollar counts and every dollar makes a difference.
This is what it looks like when people come together. Thank you.
Special Thanks
A single phone call can change thousands of lives.
When ABC Radio Perth listener Ken heard the ABC Gives appeal, something stirred in him. He made the first donation of the day! Then he called back and donated again, a total of $25,000, enough to deliver 50,000 meals to people who need them most.
The volunteers who took his call had tears in their eyes. So did OzHarvest’s WA State Manager when she shared the news on air.
Ken is 72. He sees his gift simply.
“This is my inheritance. I don’t need any more money than I’ve got. I just hope to make other people happy — a lot of people get into awkward situations, and this sounds like something that will help pretty much everyone.”
The WA team have named their latest yellow truck ‘Ken’.
