FoodFilled
FoodFilled is a Melbourne based youth-led food rescue charity dedicated to combating food wastage and alleviating hunger.
We are equally a humanitarian not-for-profit, providing emergency relief to those in need and an environmental organisation committed to fighting climate change by preventing food waste. We do this by partnering with food retailers, big and small, rescuing their leftover, excess or unsold nutritional food destined for wastage and taking it to people in need.
Unlike our food rescue/relief counterparts, FoodFilled is a volunteer centric NFP whereby we empower people, particularly young people, to engage in social activism and help those in need.
Our model offers a meaningful, inclusive and accessible way for volunteers to help their community and environment. Our main recipients are youth in crisis, asylum seekers, aboriginal communities, the homeless, people escaping abusive environments, sexual exploitation and residing in rehabilitation centres, as well families and individuals with disabilities.
