Vegetable Farm Team Member

SecondBite is one of Australia’s largest food relief organisations and works with their FareShare kitchens and farms to rescue, grow, cook and share food with people in need.

Millions of kilograms of food are rescued by SecondBite each year from food growers, manufacturers and retailers – saving good food from going to waste.

This rescued food is shared with people who need it most as fresh produce and pantry items, as well as being made into ready-to-eat meals in the FareShare kitchens.

FareShare is Australia’s largest charity kitchen and operates as part of SecondBite to transform rescued and donated food - and fresh produce grown on their own farms - into millions of nutritious, ready-to-eat meals each year. SecondBite rescued food and FareShare meals are shared free of charge with people facing hardship through a wide network of frontline charity partners around Australia.
